At Dorazio Learning Center, advanced learners accelerate at a more rapid rate given the differentiated instruction and learning activities found in inclusive classrooms. Students with special needs show sustained growth when taught using standards-based general education curriculum. Students meet California grade level standards as documented by standarized tests and informal assessments. We have a higher attendance rate and higher student achievement when compared to classrooms that have rigid ability groupings. Students are behavior and academic role models as they develop leadership and communication skills.
