Central Enrollment
The Charter School Of Excellence is pleased to announce a new and innovative multidiscipline assessment procedure called the Central Enrollment Process. This Central Enrollment Process is a collection of evidence based assessment of each students-educational, medical, vocational, psychological and social needs. These assessments allow the Charter School of Excellence to create an individualized learning plan for each student’s success. This new and exciting process allows the Charter School of Excellence to identify any potential barriers to academic success. Once these barriers are identified the student works with Charter School of Excellence staff to overcome these barriers and experience academic success.
The Central Enrollment Process requires that a student undergo a battery of assessments during the first several weeks of enrollment. Our Pennsylvania certified teachers administer assessments in Math, Reading, Writing, such as READ 180 and 4Sight. Additionally, each student completes a vocational assessment via the Choices Planner which helps to identify each student’s Learning Style for future goal planning.. The school nurse completes a medical assessment and assists each student/family in ensuring that all medical needs are met to allow the student to focus on academic success. Furthermore, during this Central Enrollment Process, each student will receive education in ART-Aggression Replacement Training and LSCI- Life Space Crisis Intervention. ART and LSCI Training Programs are the Charter School of Excellence’s “hallmark” training programs that teaches kids “new tools” to utilize in school, at home, and in the community. Finally, the school’s mental health counselor will complete a full assessment (Biopsychosocial) of each student’s emotional and social needs. The mental health counselor assists students and families with obtaining services either directly from the Charter School of Excellence or within the community.
The first year for the Central Enrollment Process was for the 2010-2011 school year. There were 242 students that participated in this process.
