Special Education Goals at Weatherstone
We understand that students 'learn differently'. It is our goal as teachers to ensure that we help students understand how they learn best. We expect great things out of our students and we hope that this year will be one of discovery, both in the CCR setting and the general education classroom. We use teaching styles that incorporate visual, auditory and kinetic learning. We are all about hands-on learning.
We encourage students to advocate for their needs. We want our students to be successful, both at Weatherstone and beyond. In order for this to happen, we teach our students to talk about their needs and how we can help them learn the material. We also teach our students to be proactive in working with their teachers to be successful in the general education setting.
We expect students to exhibit SAILing behavior in all settings. Weatherstone is a PBIS school and we encourage all of our students to model SAILing behavior. We recognize that our students may need more support in this area and will work closely with you to ensure that your child is being successful at school.
We hope that you will continue to support our efforts to help your child at Weatherstone. It is going to be a great year!

Classroom Environment
Weatherstone is proud to be a STEM school, so we use lots of technology in the classroom. In addition to the Smart Board, our students have the opportunity to use iPads and PC computers to enhance their learning and stay engaged in the lesson.
We also utilize flexible learning spaces as directed by our administration. We want to allow our students the flexibility to learn and recognize that traditional desks may not always fit our students' needs. We do have individual desks as well as group centers, but we also use standing desks and quiet reading spaces to help our students by providing a comfortable learning space for all of our students. |
