Special Education:
Canfield Middle School's special education program is designed with inclusion, as
its primary focus. Most students supported by this program are placed in regular education classes where additional supervision and support is provided. The success in this model has been evident for many years. Serviced students are an integral part of the entire Canfield community. While accommodations are made on an individual basis, the academic success is obvious and the personal benefits in terms of self-esteem, self-confidence and other social skills are reinforced.
Pull out programs in the form of study labs, language arts and mathematics review courses, and specialized advisory reading, are used to support the classroom. A few students are placed in prevocational classes as their needs indicate.
