NORTHWEST CATHOLIC LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER

What is the program?

The Learning Resource program at Northwest Catholic will consist of the following services:

Classroom accommodations: Extended time testing, preferential seating, hard copies of class notes, and other reasonable accommodations provided on a case by case basis as identified by the diagnostic evaluation.

Academic Success Class: Students meet with a Learning Resource teacher in a scheduled period as part of their regular course rotation. This class provides assistance with study skills, self-advocacy, and provides time for quiet, independent study during the school day. Limited academic tutoring can be available during this time. This class can also be a venue for extended time testing if scheduled 24 hours in advance with the teacher and it does not conflict with other academic time.
