General Education

Separate classroom must be paired with enrollment in the general education course/classroom

It is strongly suggested that the Education Specialist teaching the multi-skills class is also the co-teacher in the paired general education course.

Courses can be taught either in general education or in a separate setting or a combination.

Electives are taught in a general education setting with core content courses either in general education or separate setting based on the individual needs of the student.
