Students who deal with a variety of learning issues sometimes struggle with performing to the best of their ability in the regular classroom setting when it comes to taking tests. The Learning Lab offers services for students who need:
Learning Disabilities:
Public School District Student Study Team Evaluations and IEPs (Individual Educational Programs) Services
Assistance is provided to parents as they seek help in assessing their student for possible learning disabilities and remediation. Services in the areas of preparing initial information packets, contacting district offices, meeting with Student Study Teams (SST), and guiding parents in determining the best learning environment for their student are provided. Support for follow-up meetings with the SST, working with classroom teachers to implement any prescribed accommodations and modifications, and ideas to assist the student at home are also offered.
While the Learning Lab is not a Special Education Program, for those students who have been identified as having mild to moderate learning disabilities, a selection of services are offered. These services are designed to meet the individual need(s) of the student, using research-based methods and materials.
ELL (English Language Learner):
ELL evaluations and services are provided for those students needing additional support in their learning of the English language. Speaking, reading, writing, and vocabulary skills are strengthened in a one-on-one tutoring environment.
Gifted Program:
Towards the end of the school year, all 2nd Grade students and any new students who have entered the 3rd & 4th grades are given an assessment to begin the process of identifying gifted learners. Milpitas Christian School uses a three-point identification process: an intellectual/cognitive ability test, performance on a nationally normed test, and a behavior assessment.
The purpose of identifying students as gifted learners is to ensure that students are receiving an education and learning environment that best meet their needs. While students are placed within the general education classroom, care is taken to make certain other gifted learners will be grouped with them.
An after school enrichment program, The Renaissance Club, is also made available to gifted learners. This program is designed to provide social and emotional support with like-minded peers, as well as an opportunity to expand students’ critical thinking skills and well-rounded education.
All Learning Lab services provided at an extra cost.
