Specialized Programs

Woodland's Breakthrough program offers support for students in grades 1st – 8th with an average IQ and a diagnosed learning disability.

The Lower School Breakthrough program is a pullout program designed to meet the individual needs of students who have been diagnosed with a learning disability. Focusing on reading, a specially trained teacher works both individually and in small groups in the Breakthrough classroom, as well as provides support to students in their regular classroom to help them achieve academic success.

The Middle School Breakthrough Program is a support program for students with average and above average intellectual ability who have learning difficulties that interfere with progress in the classroom. The Breakthrough teacher provides guidance and assistance to the student and to his/her teachers in implementing accommodations that make it possible for the student to exhibit his/her knowledge and abilities in the classroom. The Breakthrough teacher guides the students in practicing a variety of study and test-taking skills using multi-sensory techniques and in making educated choices of strategies appropriate to the material to be mastered and to the students’ learning styles.
