| Many of the programs at WACTC have college credit articulation agreements
in place. This enables incoming college freshmen, (WACTC
Graduates) between three and fifteen undergraduate credits upon arrival
to their college or university the following September. These agreements
also allow our students to receive advanced placement in post-secondary
institutions thereby saving the student a portion of tuition costs.
Student schedules and course selections are completed on an individual
basis by our guidance staff. WACTC is very aware of the importance of these
selections and of the concerns that today's employers have placed on a
well-rounded educational experience. We endorse the overall development
of the individual and the preparedness of the students to become productive
members of toady's society, team workers, problem solvers, and life long
learners. 
Resource needs are met at WACTC through the services of three resource
teachers. It is our
mission to enable all students to achieve. Resource teachers are available to
provide
academic support to any student enrolled at WACTC.
 Resource is provided using the inclusion model. In general students’ needs are
met in the
classroom. Resource teachers are available to work with the academic/career
teachers.
Services include working individually with students or in small groups. The
amount of time
spent in a classroom is based on the needs of the students or at the request of
the
classroom teacher.
Services are implemented as needed in a comfortable, supportive environment.
Working in the
resource room may be necessary when students need increased support with a
particular
subject or assignment. Students may complete tests and assignments in the
resource room as
outlined in the Individualized Education Plan or as determined by the resource
teachers in
collaboration with the academic/career teachers.
Computers are available for writing assignments and research, as well as a small
library
containing popular novels and reference materials. Students are encouraged to
seek reading
material recommendations from the resource/subject teachers and to sign out
materials as
needed.
Support is offered to all students in all areas at WACTC. It is our philosophy
that
diverse learning needs are best met through daily collaboration between
students, teachers
and administrators. We strive to meet the individual needs of students to
promote academic
and technical proficiency.
