TRIUMPH
Transition Institute is dedicated to giving students
with learning differences the finest, most individualized,
education and support they need to achieve their full potential
in life. It is the schools’ aim to foster a greater
understanding and support for all people with learning disabilities
by training educators, supporting our families and enlightening
the community.
Vision
To produce well rounded, independent learners who are capable
of succeeding in both academic and occupational settings.
Mission
To educate and empower students with learning differences
from culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse backgrounds
to recognize and optimize their full potential.
We
believe that:
-
All students can learn.
-
Success is more than academics, it also includes being self-aware
and being able to persevere and set goals.
-
Each student is a valued individual with unique physical,
social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
-
Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the
learning process.
-
Students learn in different ways and should be provided
with a variety of instructional approaches and resources
to support their learning.
-
Curriculum and instructional practices should incorporate
a variety of learning activities to accommodate differences
in learning styles.
-
A student's self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships
and mutual respect among and between students and staff.
-
A student’s success in life is dependent as much on
his/her ability to develop self-determination skills as
it is for him/her to learn to read, write and do math.
The
Institute facilitates the development of self-confidence,
self-advocacy and provide students with the academic foundation
necessary for them to reach their true potential.
To achieve our mission, we are committed to:
-
Providing parents with a quality individualized education
for their child through access to effective and innovative
multi-sensory instructional programs.
-
Providing a learning environment focused on the whole child,
including intellectual, physical, social, emotional aspects.
- Committing
to continuous program improvement by providing teachers
access to innovative professional development opportunities.
-
Encouraging and supporting opportunities for students to
grow by participating in internships and community service
projects.
-
Providing authentic, sustained caring and respectful relationships
and partnership between teachers, parents, students, staff
members and the community at-large.
