Progression All classes begin with a demonstration on the big screen TV which includes modeling the expected skills and behaviors which is followed by group practice and scaffolding. Learners are then dismissed to a computer to do individual work / practice / discovery. Each session is closed with a group review of what we have accomplished and how it fits into what we will do in the coming weeks.
Special Ed. Modifications Teachers are encouraged to place exceptional children in the front of the line when they assemble outside of the Computer Centre. This affords them a close proximity to the instruction.  Individual attention / interaction is provided by the programmed user interface response as well as the improved ratio two professional educators afford.
