The Bremen Public School Board members received an update on the Middle School Alternative Program when they met last week.
As previously reported, the program provides education to students outside of a traditional classroom setting. ESSER II grant funds led to the start of this program which included the purchase of computer software that helps with content learning with Math, Science, Social Studies, and English/Language Arts that parallels Indiana education standards.
The Middle School Alternative Program has a licensed teacher in the classroom where students can work at their own pace on core subjects and achieve remediation necessary to perhaps return to a regular classroom. They would get more close attention with assignment help.
The alternative programming helps students in those grade levels to reach mental health and social emotional goals to make them successful in their learning. It also allows for more communication between the school and parents/guardians to discuss student progress and achievement.
Rich Moren from the Bremen Elementary/Middle School explained to the board members that the students are learning material and taking several quizzes throughout the week to see where the progress is and they are doing very well in this setting. He outlined successes, and challenges with the program and the progress the students are making with this offering at the school. Overall, the board members were pleased with the program.
