We have had so many changes in the SALC this session, and they seem to have been having a very positive impact.
First, we have implemented Individualized Education Plans for students. They can fill these education plans out either individually or through teacher referral. Essentially, the plan asks the student to assess their own learning goals and set forth a plan to follow for the session. At the end of the session, we will ask students to evaluate their progress on those goals.
Additionally, we're really trying to crack down on English usage in the lab - or more accurately, NON-English usage in the lab. We are rewarding students who use English in their speech or as they are navigating the Internet. Overall, this has really seemed to step up the level of instructional usage in the lab and I'm really pleased with the results.
