The start of a new school year is both exciting and challenging with many new faces and procedures appearing in our schools.
Life Skills Center Northern Ohio Region Director Deb Gurich reports on some of the changes taking place at Life Skills Centers in northern Ohio.
According to Gurich, the Northern Ohio Region is benefiting from the additional support provided by new curriculum specialist Jill Coppola, who recently joined the White Hat Management team.
Coppola is helping ensure curriculum is in full compliance and alignment with state and Title I requirements and is assisting with professional development.
According to Deb Gurich, Northern Ohio Director, a modified lab environment this year should help the highly qualified teachers provide more support and interaction with students.
The aim is to improve attendance, the number of credits earned and, most of all, the number of graduates.
Several schools in The Northern Ohio Region also have a new reading program, Reading 180.
It should help identify students with reading and comprehension deficiencies so teachers can work with them individually to improve.
Gurich also reports that Life Skills Centers under her supervision have an open house once a month.
Representatives from area businesses, parents, friends, family members and students are invited.
One of the goals is to allow the vocational specialists to meet with businessmen to talk about student employment, an important aspect of the program for students attending Life Skills Centers.
