Education
ITA serves students grade K4 through 8th grade. ITA also has a full time special education teacher as well as a full time resource room teacher who works one on one and in small groups to ensure all students’ needs are being addressed. All ITA teaching staff are fully certified for their appropriate grade levels.
ITA believes that every individual has a unique “gift” of wisdom and knowledge. We believe that through assessment, intervention, and using results ITA can build a personalized education plan for each student. Upon enrollment, each student is assessed to determine areas of strength as well as areas of improvement.
ITA ensures that the curriculum meets the needs of all students with the use of a variety of curricular strategies that track subject as well as individual student progress. ITA's curriculum program also offers tiered levels to accommodate all levels of learning. Resources provide ITA with instant feedback which gives the educators the opportunity to reinforce areas that the student may be low in. ITA uses a variety of technologically based resources to give students different and more enriching methods of learning.
As stated above, ITA also utilizes a full time special education teacher as well as a fully operational resource room that allows students additional help when needed. ITA uses Terra Nova assessment scores at the beginning of the year to prepare grade level teachers to perform instructional practices according to student need. At the beginning of the school year ITA utilizes a writing rubric as a baseline for student writing improvement. ITA continues to use rubrics to evaluate, access, and track student progress.
