Mission Statement
The aim of the Basic Skills Instruction Program (BSI) is to develop student skills and competencies which will lead to greater academic independence and confidence in learning. This is not a replacement program for academic areas, but is in addition to classroom instruction. The Basic Skills Teacher attempts to remediate deficient skills in reading/language arts and math as identified by multiple measures in grades kindergarten through six. The objective is to provide this instruction in a positive, supportive environment where the individual student's interest and motivation for the subject matter can be maintained. The aim to create an atmosphere where the child can succeed and gain confidence in him/herself.
Goals
The goals for the Basic Skills Instruction are consistent with the River Edge School Program.
Students will be given the opportunity to acquire the essential skills of the learning process and to achieve academic growth to the fullest extent of their ability. All essential skills will be assessed through teacher observation, student demonstrated skills and indicated by a reporting system.
