Special Education Department

The curriculum in Special Education is designed to meet the needs of those students whose academic programs are determined by an Individual Education Plan. These courses are open only to students in resource specialist or special day class programs. These classes may be offered in small groups, or students may be integrated into general education courses, where they are provided extra support, accommodations, and modifications to help them succeed. 

 

Depending on their individual IEP plan, most resource students at Mountain House High School are enrolled in typical college preparation courses, and special education teachers are assigned as co-teachers in these courses.  Students receive special education services through this co-teaching method, as well as through direct services in dedicated special education lab courses. 

 

Special Education services vary depending on the services outlined in each student's Individual Education Plan, and accommodations and modifications are coordinated through a collaborative process that includes parents, the student, teachers, administrators, education specialists, and special education teachers.
