NWC Learning Resource Center
What is the program?
The Learning Resource program at Northwest Catholic will consist of the following services:
Classroom accommodations: Extended time testing, preferential seating, hard copies of class notes, and other reasonable accommodations provided on a case by case basis as identified by the diagnostic evaluation.
Academic Success Class: Students meet with a Learning Resource teacher in a scheduled period as part of their regular course rotation. This class provides assistance with study skills, self-advocacy, and provides time for quiet, independent study during the school day. Limited academic tutoring can be available during this time. This class can also be a venue for extended time testing if scheduled 24 hours in advance with the teacher and it does not conflict with other academic time.
Resources
Computers: Available for students to use for homework & research.
Group Study Rooms: Students may reserve a study room for tutoring and group projects.
Printing/Scanning: MFD copiers that can be accessed via a printer code.
Workspaces: Several stand alone cubicles for quiet work and large tables for collaborating.
