Lincoln High School – Academic Support

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Academic Support classes provide experiences to aid students with learning disabilities in developing necessary study and organizational skills to enable them to succeed in general education classes. Emphasis will be placed on the skills of listening, time management, textbook usage, test taking skills, skimming and scanning, note taking and outlining, questioning and remembering. In addition, classroom social skills will be reinforced to help the student in relationships with peers and teachers. Learning styles will also be discussed. Techniques for utilizing strengths will be taught. An important part of the course is learning to use a planner and check assignment completion with general education teachers through the required weekly progress reports. After the introduction of basic study skills, students will be given time and assistance with general education work in each class session. Specially designed instruction (SDI) in the area(s) designated in a student’s Individualized Education Plan will be provided in this class.
