«It's very clear that we have not
sufficiently challenged our youngsters in these early grades when they have such incredible energy and
potential for
learning,» said Superintendent of Public Instruction Bill Honig, who empaneled the group.
It highlighted: nearly half of the providers visited not having adequate strategies, experience or expertise to support their learners with
learning difficulties or disabilities; specialist, impartial careers guidance found to be generally weak, with 16 of the 20 local authority websites reviewed failing to provide
sufficiently detailed information; too many learners on programmes that do not lead to further
learning, employment or independent / supported living; slow progress by special needs learners in English and mathematics; and poor recording of learners» progress, meaning many are not achieving their full
potential.
Our mission is to provide a caring environment of high expectations, individualized attention, and great teaching via a distance
learning delivery system that is
sufficiently adaptable to help K - 12 students in traditional and non-traditional educational settings achieve their maximum academic
potential and life goals.
