Goals
 

At Morton District 709, our goals for the Special Support Services department are the same as for the entire school district. Specifically, it is the mission of the Student Support Services 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.
