Current Student Profile

The majority of students currently enrolled at Victory Academy are emerging speakers, listeners, readers, and writers. Students at this level are working on goals which include increasing their language across the functions of requests, building their vocabularies, increasing their vocal responding and vocal interaction with others, improving conversational skills, following more complex directions, improving concrete and cooperative play skills, building reading skills, and making progress in forming letters and writing functionally. These students need more frequent praise and teacher attention to ensure the student remains motivated and attends to his/her lesson.

A few of the students currently enrolled at Victory Academy are speakers, listeners, readers, writers, emerging self-editors, and early perspective takers. The students at this level are working on goals which may include continuing to build upon their vocabularies, continuing to make progress on their reading and writing skills, and increasing their more advanced conversational skills, dramatic and imaginary play, perspective taking, and social thinking concepts. These students are capable of more independent work; however, they still benefit from frequent positive interactions with teachers and consistent praise. In addition, these students also benefit from a structured classroom and access to breaks and preferred activities.

At Victory Academy, groups of 2-3 students work with one teacher or teaching assistant, while still maintaining their individual goals. The teachers and teaching assistants at Victory Academy utilize as many incidental moments as possible to work on language, communication, social, and motor goals throughout the course of the academic day.
