About Our Room

The Learning Center Classroom is located at the Francis Wyman School in Burlington, MA.

This district initiative is a supportive place for students identified with varying disabilities to learn with small group instruction. We have three staff members that work in our room and in the students' homerooms during academic blocks.

For Literacy we use SRA Language instruction to build general knowledge, communication, and comprehension skills. This is paired with the district-wide initiative to use a phonics-based program called Fundations or the SRA Reading Mastery program depending on the needs of the individual students.

During Math, students use the Saxon Math program. The children are exposed to functional concepts such as calendar, money, and clock skills. This program meets the criteria for the MA Curriculum Frameworks as the students build skills in number sense, geometry, and patterns using hands on materials and worksheets.

Progress is monitored closely to determine mastery of skills through formative and summative assessments. Families receive progress reports three times a year according to the district's report card schedule.

We hope you check back in as we update our blog to see what we've been up to.
