Special Education Department Mission and Vision
The Porter Traditional School Special Education Department believes all students can succeed. We believe all students can demonstrate their learning via a hands-on inclusive approach, integrating learning and technology and with the collaboration of parents, families, and a safe, inclusive, supportive, and nurturing learning environment.
Porter special education students will be held to high standards. They will be provided individualized support in order to successfully meet those standards. Students will participate in multi-modal learning experiences in both classroom and community settings, where they can thrive through their learning and be successful.
Porter Special Education teachers will empower our students and provide them multiple opportunities to learn, grow, actively engage, and succeed in their classroom lessons. Teachers will strive to meet each child's needs through individualized instruction; as we know, one way of teaching does not work for all.
