The 8:1:1 Program is designed for
students with severe behavior management needs who cannot be
maintained in a 12:1:1 setting. Center-based classrooms include
8:1:1 Life Skills, 8:1:1 Mental Health, and 8:1:1 Regents
Preparation. Emphasis is on developing a student’s emotional
control and appropriate behavior in social and individual
situations. Instructional programs are provided within a
structured behavior modification program. Students in the 8:1:1
school-based setting have the opportunity to participate in
mainstream subjects when possible and receive self-contained
content instruction when necessary. Time-out rooms are used as
an integral part of the program. Pre-vocational and career and
technical education training is conducted throughout the
program. Diploma tracks include Regents / local and IEP diploma
programs. Students participate fully in the state testing
program. |
