OUR
SERVICES
Educational
Program
Each Leona Group school endeavors to offer a program that is most responsive
to the needs of the community, students and parents it serves. While each
program is unique, there is a common thread that winds through our schools,
creating an important philosophical connection.
All Leona schools model a shared vision – that all children can
and will be successful if held to high expectations. Every child can learn.
When given the proper tools, understanding, attention, motivation and
encouragement, every child can achieve. In support of this vision, Leona
offers comprehensive educational program services in the areas of curriculum,
special needs, English Language Learners (ELL) and student assessment
and evaluation.
Curriculum:
The Leona Group does not mandate a specific curriculum but works with
the board and Leona’s on-site academy staff to determine specific
curriculum programs that meet state and federal standards. Leona support
staff assists by providing guidance on specific curricula and School Improvement
Plans, as well as meeting academic measures and other requirements of
No Child Left Behind. Curriculum development and implementation at the
school is supported by the Quality Schools Initiative (QSI) team. Professional
development costs for academy staff, in support of curriculum development
and implementation, are part of the annual budget with actual expenditures
reviewed as part of the monthly expenditure report.
Special needs:
The Leona Group embraces the philosophy of full inclusion, believing special
education students are best educated in the regular classroom. Teachers
and collaborative teachers accept responsibility for all students and
modify, accommodate and adjust teaching techniques and class activities
to meet the learning abilities of all children. The Leona Group’s
special education staff works in partnership with and supports the regular
classroom in this process, and provides ongoing professional training,
counsel and development.
Student assessment and evaluation:
A child's educational growth is multi-faceted and evaluation should reflect
the child’s physical, social and intellectual progress. Various
assessment tools, including state-mandated tests, are used to determine
each child’s development and to measure the success of the school
program in meeting its goals. The assessment and evaluation department
partners with school staff in the areas of high-stakes testing, quantitative
and qualitative measures/reporting and School Improvement Plan development.
