The Greene County Career and Technology Center offers learning support services for all CTE program areas.
The Greene County CTC offers an array of special education services for students enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs. The Special Education Facilitator collaborates with the sending school districts and their CTE liaisons/administrators. The Special Education Facilitator participates in IEP meetings to ensure appropriate scheduling and accommodations are being met and implemented for students attending the CTC. The Learning Facilitator also discusses the CTE program offerings and requirements for each program with 9th grade and new incoming students during IEP meetings. The Facilitator also works with the on-site CTE program instructors to insure proper implementation of IEPs and accompanying SDIs. Students have access to the resource room for additional supports and CTE curriculum remediations.
The Learning Support Facilitator works with the sending school districts Special Education Teachers from 5 sending schools. The Learning Support Facilitator works with the CTC instructors to check on the progress of Special Education Students throughout the school year. IEP student input on how a student is doing in the program of study is requested by a case manager a month before an annual student IEP meeting. The Learning Facilitator gathers the information which includes present levels of performance, current marking period grades, attendance, specific target behaviors affecting student performance, transition goals, and sends it to the special education case manager at least a week before an IEP meeting. The Learning Support Facilitator also attends the student IEP meeting by phone or in person if possible to discuss CTC progress.
The Learning Facilitator also works alongside the math and reading coaches, guidance counselor and workforce development coordinator to ensure the students needs are being met through student SDIs. The Learning Facilitator works with the math and reading coaches to develop plans for NOCTI remediation/testing and brainstorming ideas and lessons for class journals. The Learning Facilitator meets with the guidance counselor at the CTC to ensure the student needs are being met, transition goals, post-secondary education information and career counseling for students.
