About

The Watchung Hills Regional High School District endeavors to provide the “least restrictive environment” for each child. WHRHS provides a continuum of individualized programs to meet each student’s unique learning needs.

Co-Teaching (or In-Class Support) occurs in general education classrooms where students require assistance in the areas of organizational skills, study skills, curriculum reinforcement, and varied instructional strategies. The co-teaching model provides students with an opportunity to interact with general and special educators in a collaborative manner that seeks to maximize educational experiences and enhance learning in the general education classroom.

A Resource Center program (M Level courses) provides a replacement curriculum for those students with disabilities requiring a differentiated approach to curriculum requirements. The Resource Center program parallels the general education curriculum. Courses are designed to incorporate NJ Core Content Standards with appropriate modifications as well as provide small group instruction, using a multi-modal approach to learning.

A Career Academic Resource Experience (LLD Program) is available and is designed to meet the needs of the learning and language disabled student whose educational goals are appropriately met in a highly structured, individualized program that incorporates career academics, behavioral and social skills, functional life skills, and vocational training. Students fulfill the mandated course requirements in the areas of English, history, math, science, health, and adaptive physical education in the LLD/Special Education curriculum. In addition, students in this program participate in a variety of school to work transition experiences through the vocational courses and off-site student intern opportunities.
