February 7, 1997 Day school teaches Hebrew, Torah to learning disabled BRIGITTE DAYAN Chicago JUF News Sitting behind her teacher's desk, Aviva Lopin helps a 10-year-old student with her Hebrew skills. Directly across from them, at the back of the room, a teacher's aide looks on as a student completes his assignment. Elsewhere in the classroom, students, more often restless than not, tackle their worksheets on their own. Noise punctuates the atmosphere on this particular day; occasionally, a student will express frustration, to which Lopin responds with a gentle "Do you want to ask me your she'elah [question]?" Other students will work for 10 minutes and then, fidgeting in their seats, will talk to their neighbor, only to be quieted by the teacher or her aides. A few minutes before noon, the kids put away their work and get ready for lunch; some of them will eat in the room, others will join the rest of the school in the cafeteria. Welcome to the Ptach classroom. Yet the word classroom is a misnomer. An acronym for Parents for Torah Education for all Children and the Hebrew word for "open," Ptach creates an academic and social environment where Jewish children with learning disabilities can function. Nearly 20 students all of whom have learning difficulties, some with emotional components are enrolled in the program. Housed in a wing of the Arie Crown Hebrew Day School in Skokie, Ill., Ptach comprises two classrooms divided by age: grades one through four and five through eight.

Accomplishing the goal of teaching a higher percentage of students to or above proficiency requires doubling or even tripling current results. However, education dollars in California will not increase by that rate. Thus, the only way California, as well as other states, can accomplish the current goal of teaching students to high standards is to improve the productivity of the education system to use education dollars more effectively to boost results. Since education is a service and labor-intensive activity, improving productivity by the levels needed to accomplish the student achievement goals poses a bold challenge to the education system. Four recent Consortium for Policy Research in Education (CPRE) publications identify several strategies for improving education productivity: In "Rethinking the Allocation of Teaching Resources: Some Thoughts From High Performing Schools,"

Special Schools Programs Preschool Special Center Riverside Unified School District has one special school campus Sunshine Early Childhood Center . This school offers unique curricula especially designed to meet the learning needs of the disabled preschool student. Head Start classes and the Peer Buddy Program provide peer modeling. Nonpublic Nonsectarian Schools Placement in a nonpublic school is provided for those students whose educational needs cannot be met in the public schools. State Special Schools Special schools, for the deaf and blind operated by the California State Department of Education, sometimes serve as placement when a student's special needs warrant such a program. The School for the Deaf, Southern California , is located in Riverside. Individual Instruction in Home/Hospital Disabled students who cannot profit from special class placement in the regular school setting may be placed on home instruction. The student may be provided with up to 300 minutes of individual instruction at his/her home per week. This is usually intended as a short term service until the student can be returned to a school program. Residential Institution When the student's problems are so severe that the child needs 24-hour care to provide an appropriate education, the student may be placed in a residential setting.
