Special Education Services
Specialized Instruction
All curriculum and instruction is aligned to the California State Content Standards and Frameworks approved by the State Board of Education. Every child receives a rigorous, well-balanced standards-aligned core program. Southridge Middle School structures its educational program so that all students receive instruction appropriate to their learning level. To ensure the success of every student, teachers use a variety of instructional techniques using research based instructional materials and strategies.
The school’s special education program is staffed by two special day class teachers and two special day class aides who provide full-day instruction in two special day classes. Four resource specialist teachers provide classroom-based collaborative direct instruction in language arts and math. Four resource specialist aides provide in class support in social science and science classes, collaborating with teachers to provide individualized support meeting student’s needs.
Each student is provided instruction based upon their Individual Education Plan (IEP), which is reviewed and updated annually by the school’s IEP teams. All students are mainstreamed into the general education classroom based upon their IEP and provided instruction in the least restrictive environment.
