Skilled Teachers

Our teachers receive special training to learn how to teach learning different children.

Teachers must reflect on their use of specialized techniques and curriculum in their lesson plans.

Bridges’ teachers are willing to learn new methods tailored to meet each student’s academic needs.

Weekly teacher meetings help discuss any behavioral concerns.

El Paso Bridges Academy

Curriculum

Reading, language arts/English, and math use specific curriculum or publishers that best fit the learning needs of our students.

In these areas, constant repetition is needed to master the content.

Students have to master curriculum before advancing.

Placement in science and social studies is determined by grade level.

El Paso Bridges Academy

Social Skills Development

Our students often have a difficult time socializing with other children and adults.

We have a unique behavior plan that addresses the behavioral characteristics that often get negative reaction from others.

Individual plans are created as needed.

Weekly teacher meetings help discuss any behavorial concerns.

Emphasizing social skills not only helps social behavior but also addresses individual emotional issues.
