Standards-Based vs. Functional
Standards-Based
Helps students with Future Career in mind using academics.
Functionality is not a pre-requisite.
Functional
Helps students become independent community members that make life decisions.
Effectively function as an adult.
Self reliance is key.
Is it limiting the potential of students to just work on Functional Skills?
Standards-Based and Functional
I find that utilizing a combination of the two would be the most beneficial for the students success.
