3 Superintendent s Message Children are constantly moving toward their futures, and it is our role to nurture the potential in each child. Who knows how high our students will soar? Providing opportunities for all students in Chesterfield is an important annual action in the Design for Excellence 2020, the strategic plan of Chesterfield County Public Schools. This Educating a Diverse Community booklet details the array of services available to our students, families and schools. Parents whose children learn differently may use this guide to find services to help them achieve success. We cannot know where each student will land, but we are teaching them the foundational knowledge and the 21st-century skills needed to fulfill their potential no matter where their path leads.

14 14 Focus areas The Office of Exceptional Education serves students ages 2-21 with identified special needs. Services are provided for students with autism, developmental delays, emotional disabilities, severe disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, other health impairments, speech and language impairments and visual impairments. Students are determined to be eligible for special education through a referral, evaluation and eligibility process that takes place in the school the student would normally attend. Instruction Division Center 600 Southlake Blvd. Richmond, VA phone fax Michael Asip Director of Exceptional Education mike_asip@ccpsnet.net Valerie Doebler, Assistant Director valerie_doebler@ccpsnet.net Beverly Bowlus Administrative Assistant beverly_bowlus@ccpsnet.net Exceptional Education Students found eligible for special education services are provided specialized instruction, supports and services according to Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in compliance with federal and state regulations and division procedures. Special education teachers, therapists and support staff members collaborate with general education staff members to provide students with disabilities with relevant, rigorous instruction attuned to the individual needs of the student. The goal is to provide students with disabilities opportunities to progress in their mastery of knowledge and skills beyond the Standards of Learning or alternate assessments. Parents are integral participants in all facets of special education, including referral, evaluation, eligibility and developing the IEPs to support the student s achievement. The Parent-Teacher Resource Center helps parents and staff members promote student success by sponsoring workshops, providing office and phone consultations, compiling requested information packets and operating a library of educational and parenting resources. Chesterfield students with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in a state-supported initiative to promote students to be self-directed advocates for their own learning. Chesterfield County supports students learning more about themselves and their learning needs, eventually leading their educational planning meetings. Chesterfield teachers, administrators, and support staff members work with students and their families to promote strong citizenship and exemplary student conduct in supportive, nurturing environments. Positive behavioral interventions and supports are provided to enhance opportunities for student success in this area.

15 Exceptional Education (continued) Co-teaching, collaborative and consultative models support inclusion in general education classes to the maximum extent appropriate for each student. Specialized instruction and supports can be provided in general education classes, pull-out classes or specialized programs. Transition services are provided to assist students in planning postsecondary education, training or employment opportunities. IEPs for Chesterfield students reflect appropriate goals addressing postsecondary options for students with disabilities. Goal-directed transition planning provides students with meaningful coursework and activities that contribute to greater on-time graduation and postsecondary options. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports Chesterfield County Public Schools is moving to add positive behavioral interventions and supports at every school. So far, 25 Chesterfield schools have embraced this approach and are collaborating with Virginia s Effective Schoolwide Discipline initiative. Participating are 15 elementaries (Beulah, Chalkley, Marguerite Christian, Crenshaw, Davis, Ecoff, Enon, Ettrick, Falling Creek, Harrowgate, Jacobs Road, Reams Road, Salem Church, Swift Creek and Watkins), six middle schools (Bailey Bridge, Carver, Elizabeth Davis, Falling Creek, Providence and Salem Church) and four high schools (Bird, Chesterfield Community, Meadowbrook and Monacan). All Chesterfield schools will participate by Positive behavioral interventions and supports provide a framework for developing a well-orchestrated system of tiered interventions that produce and sustain improvements in student behavior. Positive behavioral interventions and supports, also known as PBIS, are not a program. They are a schoolwide, systematic approach employing data-driven problemsolving to build innovative and effective solutions using evidence-based practices and research-based interventions. Behavior change is an instructional process. The goal of PBIS is not just to manage or control students; the goal is to maximize each student s skills in self-management and decision making. To change student behavior, schools first change adult behavior. PBIS establishes a positive coaching model that builds skills and improves practices for students and staff members. Students learn skills in communication, problem-solving, self-control and self-management. Faculty and staff members learn skills in behavior coaching and learn to more effectively provide guided practice and scaffolded supports, feedback and encouragement, as students learn self-management skills. Teachers become more proficient in establishing trust, building motivation and engaging students in the learning process.

20 Purpose The Office of Summer Session supports the belief that all children can learn. To enable all students to successfully achieve the high academic standards established by Virginia and Chesterfield County Public Schools, summer session provides additional time and supplemental instruction in a compressed time frame. The primary purpose is to provide ongoing instruction to students who need assistance beyond the established school year. Almost all school buildings operate a summer program that is managed by a site coordinator. It is a goal of the school system to hire as many Chesterfield County teachers as possible to work with their schools students during summer session. Each spring, principals appoint a site coordinator who works with the building s administrative team to organize and run the summer program at each school. The summer program on the elementary and middle school level is primarily reinforcement, focused mostly on mathematics and language arts. Students are referred for participation based on their average grade at the end of the third marking period. Individual schools are encouraged to offer enrichment programs that meet the needs of their specific community. Instruction Division Center 600 Southlake Blvd. Richmond, VA phone fax Cecilia M.
