Applied English (Period 1)
Course Description
Applied English is one of the alternate curriculum courses that will help students become productive, independent adults by improving functional skills in the domains of communications, self-care/independent living, motor skills/mobility, vocational, social/emotional and recreation/leisure. Alternate curriculum courses align functional skills with standards-based core curriculum using a subset of the California standards in English/language arts, mathematics, science, and history/social science.
Applied English emphasizes the continued development and practical application of basic reading and written communication skills. Focus is on the use of reading and writing as they relate to functioning independently and effectively on a day-to-day basis in the community in which the student lives. Students enter into and move through the standards at an individual pace.
