Opportunity Programs focus upon students with mild mental disabilities that result in significant delays in academic achievement. Students in these programs often require assistance in developing life skills in addition to developing academic skills.
The Opportunity Program helps students to gain practical literacy and numeracy skills, social skills, employment skills, knowledge of the world and community, and independent life skills needed in domestic, personal, social, citizenship, and leisure environments. As in the Community Learning Skills Program, the focus of instruction shifts over the school years. Elementary classes focus upon basic academic skills and work habits as well as personal and social development. To allow for intensive literacy and numeracy work, some curricular expectations are reduced. Science and social studies units are combined with language learning. Junior and senior high programs promote practical application of academic skills, independence in personal living and preparing for the world of work. Learning activities occur in the classroom and in the community. A limited number of concepts and skills are drawn from social studies and science in order to enhance student citizenship and employment skills. Students also investigate careers, practical life skills, and explore personal health and safety issues.
