Middle <strong>School</strong><br />

The Audubon Technology and Communication Center (ATCC) serves<br />

student representatived by European, African, Hispanic, Asian, Native<br />

American, and other descents enrolled in grades 6-8. The ATCC believes<br />

that all students can be successful. Its goal is to promote communication,<br />

the most basic human strategy we use, to raise, educate, and empower<br />

children. It seeks to improve students’ ability to express themselves<br />

articulately, creatively, critically, and professionally. Each child is<br />

challenged to achieve academic success through the use of direct<br />

instruction, individual or cooperative teams, problem-solving activities,<br />

and real-life experiences.<br />

The ATCC uses a curriculum that provides constant reinforcement and<br />

extension in all content areas. Flexible programming options center on<br />

reorganizing the school day so that it provides more student contact time,<br />

reduces the fragmentation of the day, and allows teachers to adapt their<br />

instructional strategies to address the different ways in which students<br />

learn. It is the belief of the ATCC community that flexible programming<br />

options provide more instructional opportunities for students to succeed<br />

in school.<br />
