Vision:
We do not teach labels...We teach children.
Mission:
Changing the lives of individuals with autism by building collaborative relationships that promote acceptance, independence, self-determination, and life-long success.
Beliefs:
- We believe all students have the capacity to learn.
- We believe all students are here to be educated and that education changes lives.
- We believe in empowering and equipping our students to be successful in the world.
- We educate our own.
- We create a culture of acceptance by all teachers and peers.
Goals:
- GCPS will develop and deliver a multi- modal (live and on-line) three tiered training plan that will increase knowledge, awareness, and skills for staff that interact with students with ASD across the division.
- GCPS will develop and deliver a training and technical assistance plan to ensure the implementation of evidence-based strategies across grades and in all settings.
- GCPS will develop a school-to-school/ grade-to-grade transition process that will ensure the sending team shares behavior plans, tips, schedules, communication methods, and medical/eating issues with the receiving school. Additionally, the receiving team will have the opportunity to develop necessary rapport with the student.
- GCPS will develop and deliver a comprehensive evaluation process to ensure appropriate and early identification of students with autism.
