A charter school in Ohio (US) hopes to improve student performance, which has apparently been poor enough that Ohio officials have cited the school as needing improvement, by securing training in Learning Disabilities for some of its teachers, according to Jennifer Mrozowski of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Harmony Community School hopes to improve its program by having about a third of its teaching staff become certified in special education by next school year.
The charter school, which was cited by its sponsoring agency in December for poor performance, has teamed up with Antioch University McGregor in Yellow Springs, a division of Antioch University, to create an in-house licensing program for Harmony’s teachers.
Faculty from the university comes to the Roselawn charter school twice a week to give instruction to about a dozen Harmony teachers, who are paying for the master’s program with federal financial aid and student loans.
Think this is enough? Does it matter what sort of training the folks from Amherst provide?
