A section of the classroom was re- modeled, and kitchen facilities were installed. This supple- ments the new contemporary living course. Other additions to the curriculum were shopping, sewing, and school study skills. In order to enhance these new developments, Mrs. Moores, a teacher aide, was placed into the Adjusted Leam- ing Program. Her presence also allows more individual guidance to be given to each student. This year the A.L.P. students enrolled in the Pre-Vo cational class put on a Christmas Boutique in connection with Commercial Foods and Distributive Education. The Pre-Vocational students created their own art work, which was open for sale to the public. The Adjusted Learning Program doesnit end at 3:00 pm. The three instructors, Mr. James Boddy, Miss Susan Poplawski, and Mrs. Moores, make available to the stu- dents services such as rides home and to stores, assistance in shopping, and a trip downtown to see the Detroit Pistons play at Cobo Hall. They even arranged for two of the stu- dents to be employed at Jacobsons The objective of the Adjusted Learning Program is not only to provide an educational background for its stu- dents, but also to help them join society. The number of additions to the Adjusted Learning Program allows these objectives to be more easily accomplished. Curriculum 5 7
