Diverse learners

“My ability is stronger than my disability”

Tailored Services

At MAS, we provide special services for our students with IEPs and 504s, also known as Diverse Learners.

Most of our DL teachers are EL/Bilingual certified and endorsed. We offer both co-teaching instruction and small class instruction in Math, Science, English, and Social Science.

Classes have students with and without IEPs.  Our educators teach all students together but Special Education is responsible for giving the students with IEPs the services they need and have written in their IEPs.

We provide... 

  • Direct Reading support with Wilson Reading Class
  • JR/SR Occupational Preparation Courses
  • DL/EL Interventionist
  • 2 teachers (Diverse Learner and General Education teacher) in Math, Science, English & Social Science  
  • A student’s placement in Co-Taught classes is based on their 8th grade IEP
  • 9th-grade students are placed in Instructional Level classes per the 8th-grade team decision on the IEP
  • 11th and 12th-grade Occupational Preparation
