The Educational Services
Unit employees assigned to St. Joan of Arc work together with the staff of St. Joan’s to meet the educational needs of students who qualify
for compensatory, supplemental and
speech/language services. ESU strives to support and
supplement the teachers and curriculum in the non-public school setting. Our
goal is to meet the new and emerging needs of an increasingly diverse student
population.
Student needs are assessed to determine and
implement support strategies in the classroom. Eligibility for
compensatory education in Reading, Writing or Math is determined by
standardized test scores and other supportive measures. Students with
Individualized Service Plans are additionally supported by accommodations and
modifications specific to their needs.
We have
been fortunate to be working with St. Joan's dedicated staff for several
years. Together, we work toward meeting the unique challenges that our
students face in their classrooms and curriculum. This is often a
challenge, but one that is attainable when we are working as a team.
