Goals
At Morton CUSD 709, our goals for the Special Education Department are the same as for the entire District. Specifically, it is the mission of the Special Education Department to:
~ Ensure all students achieve their highest potential
~ Meet individual student needs based on assessments for learning and provide research-based instruction and interventions
~ Identify the specific needs of each student in order to determine teaching and learning priorities and the effectiveness of instructional methods
Additionally, we recognize the role of inclusion in helping all students develop, and we place students in general education classrooms as appropriate for each individual student.
