Whether your child is struggling in an academic area or is well above grade level, our personalized approach to learning can address both. Our program is deliberate, structured, multisensory, and personalized. &nbsp;We utilize evidence-based approaches and best practices that involve specific learning strategies proven to support students who learn differently. Students are taught reading and math in small groups that are centered around each child\u2019s skill development. An Individual Instruction Plan (IIP) is designed for each student that outlines the academic, social, and behavioral goals according to each student\u2019s unique strengths and challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With small class sizes and personalized instruction, teachers are able to understand, care about, and encourage each student to achieve their maximum potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this differentiated approach, students progress at&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;own pace, moving on as they achieve mastery and developing increased independence and responsibility as they go. &nbsp;A number of

experience that takes place at Morrison School. \u00a0Through the program students develop effective personal traits and successful work habits such as motivation, work ethic, organizational skills, independence, accountability, and responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest difference between our homework and that of most schools is that in assigning homework, we place more importance on how it is done than the actual work itself, although the work itself is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are basically four reasons Morrison School assigns homework: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To instill in students a sense of independence, organization and responsibility relative to school work and, thus, enable them to become more efficient workers (which then usually generalizes to other areas of the students\u2019 lives) <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give teachers a good indication of what students are academically capable of doing entirely on their own which then serves to guide the teachers\u2019 thinking, planning and decision making about instructional parameters for students <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To rehearse skills and knowledge acquired during the school day to better entrench them <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To apply such skills and knowledge to independent thinking and problem solving <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As daily battles with homework subsides, a renewed passion for learning ignites and families have time to be families once
