Metapra Associates Inc. offers an individualized Alternative Learning Program in an attempt to assist those students who are not attending a traditional school and are unable to re-enter and thereby obtain a high school education in the traditional manner. The student will receive instruction from a facilitator under the direct supervision of a certified teacher. Each student will attend classes for three to five half days per week. The student would attend learning sessions at an alternative site, Metapra Associates, Inc. The instruction would be delivered on a one-on-one basis.
An alternative learning path will be developed prior to sessions commencing, using information from the last school attended and other appropriate professionals. Metapra will conduct assessments to determine accuracy of academic level and materials to be chosen. Assessments will also be conducted on a regular basis to track the student's performance.
Resources:
Examples of resources utilized in the instruction of the student are Plato Learning (ie. Software package) and GED predictor tests. Examples of courses taught on a daily basis are Reading Comprehension, Writing Skills with Assessments, Math Fundamentals. In the beginning, the level of difficulty will be structured to promote success, and will gradually increase to the appropriate level for completion of a Modified Program. There will also be a core subject entitled, "Life Issues" in which the student will learn about life and job skills, communication skills and problem solving skills. Metapra also will offer to assist in developing an individualized vocational program using appropriate supports in the placement.
