Targeted Services Program
Targeted Services are programs providing academic services complementing current school programming to students in grades K through 8, who are eligible under the Graduation Incentives Program. These services help them develop academically and socially to keep pace with the educational achievements of their classmates.
Instructional techniques use alternate methods to those in the regular classroom and may include:
- Multiple methods
- Experiential
- Problem solving, decision making
Academic services strive to:
- Increase critical reading skills, strategies and comprehension
- Build basic skill areas: math, science and other academic areas
- Encourage reading for enjoyment
Social/Emotional services can focus on:
- Responsible decision making
- Promoting social/civic responsibility
- Expressing and managing emotions effectively
- Establishing positive relationships
Students are recommended by their current school to participate because they have performed academically below grade level expectations or have social/emotional factors that may put them at risk of not progressing through school. Targeted Services can take place before or after school, weekends or extended year (summer).
