Applied Technology for Learning, Aptitude and Success

The Applying Technology for Learning, Aptitude and Success (ATLAS) program is designed to provide focused, structured learning opportunities for grade 7 and 8 students of average to above average intelligence who are experiencing significant difficulties with communication, organization and academic performance. Through intensive direct treaching experiences and more hands-on learning opportunities, students will gain the knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to success in secondary school and beyond.

The program will strive to provide each student with:

- focused support with an emphasis on intensive language intervention and technology skill development, self advocacy instruction and social skill development;

- use of information technology to develop skills;

- exposure to broader technology;

- strategies that will facilitate his/her success in the secondary school program and assist the grade 8 students with a positive transition to secondary school;

- a class size of 18-20 students and an adult to student ratio of not more than 1:10.

The ATLAS Program is offered exclusively at Calvin Park Public School
