Learning Science
Learning Science is a cornerstone of our philosophy and will help us create positive environments for all students, regardless of diagnosis. The philosophy and techniques of Learning Science work for all types of students, not just those with learning differences and are among the most effective and efficient practices currently available (Cooper, Heron, Heward, 2007; Trump et al, 2018).
Precision Teaching
Prospect Academy will use the innovative framework of Precision Teaching (PT). Through its use, students will gain fluency in their academic, behavioral, social emotional, and adaptive behavior skills. At Prospect Academy, we have a focus on the generalizability of academic, social-emotional, adaptive behavior, and life skills of students, as students’ abilities to use these skills across environments will have direct correlation to their success outside of the classroom and in the future. Using Precision Teaching and fluency-based instruction will help us take an important step towards ensuring that student skills generalize to many different environments.
Curriculum
Prospect Academy academic standards will align with all Colorado State Standards for grades K-12, which are based on the Common Core State Standards.
​
We have chosen curricula based on evidence of use at other schools like ours, as well as different research looking at the efficacy of the curriculum.
​
We plan to use a variety of curricula for each subject; this will help us serve students more effectively than relying on only one option.
