3. Traditional Classroom
A Traditional Classroom is a basic classroom with a typical set up. Seats are organized in a structured and rigid
manner. Most, if not all traditional classrooms, have one person leading
the class.

4. Self-Contained Classroom
A self-contained classroom is one in which the students share similar
academic requirements. Placement in a self-contained classroom means
that your child will be removed from the general school population for all
academic subjects to work in a small controlled setting with a special
education teacher.

5. Inclusion Classroom In an inclusion class, children are
placed in a regular classroom with his
or her age peers. A special education
teacher will often “push in” to assist
those children with an IEP and will
adjust the curriculum to that child’s
abilities.

6. Resource Room
In a resource room, small group instruction takes place with a special
Education teacher who uses techniques and strategies that work efficiently with the special needs population.
Resource rooms lack the structure and routine of a self-contained
classroom.

7. ESL CLASS
ESL is an acronym for English as a Second Language. It involves teaching most subjects in school through two different languages. The goal is to help students transition to mainstream English only classrooms as quickly as possible.

8. JUVENILE DETENTION Juvenile detention is also known as
juvenile hall. It is a secure
Residential facility for young people
awaiting court hearings and/or
placement in a long-term program.
Most detention centers provide
education, recreation, health
assessment, counseling, and other
Intervention services.

9. Collaborative teaching
Collaborative teaching is when there are two teachers in a
classroom providing support and instruction to the students and each other.

10. Homeschooling
Homeschooling is the education of children at home. Normally,
children are schooled at home by their parents or tutors. It is
done under the supervision of correspondence schools or
umbrella school. In some places, an approved curriculum is
legally required if children are to be home schooled.

11. Alternative School Alternative is the name used in
some parts of the world to
describe an institution which
provides alternative education.
These schools have a special
curriculum offering a more flexible program of study than a traditional school.

12. Vocational Education Vocational Education prepares
learners for jobs that are based in manual or practical activities,
traditionally non academic and totally related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation in which the learner participates.

13. GIFTED EDUCATION
Gifted Education is also known as Gifted and Talented Education
(GATE). Generally, students spend all class time with their peers
but receive extra material to challenge them. In some cases, pupils
are advanced to a higher-level class covering material more
suited to their abilities and preparedness.
