Service Delivery Models

At Lake View, we offer a wide array of settings for our students with disabilities or special learning needs including:

Consultative Classes (LRE Service Delivery Model: CON)

This is a GENERAL EDUCATION CLASS. The student’s service provider consults with the teacher on a quarterly basis to monitor progress and to assure the accommodations are being implemented. No general education classroom should have more than 30% of its students with disabilities.

Team-Taught Classes (LRE Service Delivery Model: TT)

This is a GENERAL EDUCATION CLASS. The special education teacher is in the class co-teaching and working with the students on a daily basis. Since the class is co-taught with both a general and special education teacher, the number of students with disabilities can comprise up to 30% of the student body.  The class size of a TT class total is generally smaller than the general education class.

Instructional Classes (LRE Service Delivery Model: INS)

This is a SMALLER SEPARATE CLASS. The curriculum content with modifications is delivered by a special education teacher.  Class sizes are based on the needs of the students with cross categorial disabilities. The range of students in a classroom is 8-17 and may include a classroom SECA (special education classroom assistant). 

Other In-School Support

SECA’s (special education classroom assistants), peer tutors and resource periods are assigned as needed per the IEP to help the student be successful in class.
