A variety of resources are used to implement instruction. The staff at St. Rose of Lima utilizes web sites, technology, textbooks, and manipulatives, and also partners with parents and community resources to enhance the education of our students. Teachers differentiate, scaffold, and tier instruction. Accommodations are made when and if a student’s evaluation indicates that this is warranted.

Cooperative learning groups, small group, whole group, and individual instruction are ways students are engaged in the learning process. Skills such as note-taking and outlining, organization, decision making, independent activities, and personal responsibility are all emphasized and reinforced across the curriculum.
