Personal
Planning.
To us, each student is unique with both needs and capabilities all his or her
own. That's why we develop Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for every ESE
student. These may be reviewed and updated at any time and are used to report
student progress as well as to describe accommodations or modifications required
to meet a standard or goal.
-
Progress.
Student progress is also reported every nine weeks with a report card. Many
schools provide additional student-progress reports at three-week intervals.
In addition, we offer a wide range of tests to measure progress, including the
Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test
and others. We also administer assessments designed specifically to measure the
progress of students with disabilities.
Promotion to higher grades is governed by clearly stated standards set forth in
the Pupil Progression Plan of Duval County Public Schools.
-
Accreditation.
As part of Duval County Public Schools, ESE is fully accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools. Most ESE programs are offered in
traditional school facilities, which are visited regularly by the Association to
make sure all standards are met.
All of our schools, programs and support services are also required to
participate in regular audits and program-compliance reviews conducted by state
and federal regulatory agencies. These measures assure you that ESE lives up to
the highest standards of accreditation.
-
Curriculum.
Duval County Public Schools offers a curriculum that prepares students to
meet the standards required by the State of Florida. We make accommodations as
necessary for any students who have difficulty meeting these standards. Of
course, our curriculum also includes teaching the life and vocational skills
most appropriate and suitable for our students.
-
Conduct.
Duval County Public Schools provides students with a written Code of Student
Conduct. This document applies to all students and details behavioral
expectations, discipline processes, and philosophy. It is the basis for
maintaining safe and secure schools throughout the county.
Of course, procedural safeguards for ESE students with disabilities are included
in the Code and are always considered in the discipline process.
Similarly, ESE follows the Duval County Public Schools attendance policy, which
specifies expectations for participation and student progress. This policy
considers individual circumstances and allows for legitimate student absences.
