Community Based Instruction (CBI)
Community Based Instruction (CBI) is a program designed for students that need intensive instruction in functional and daily living skills. The goal of the program is to provide hands on learning activities to help students acquire the skills to live in the world today. During Spring 2010, our CBI students participated in Project Learn & Grow.
Project Learn & Grow is a community garden maintained by students with disabilities and typically developing students. Within this community garden, the students will participate with the "Plant A Row" movement. The Garden Writers Association of America (GWAA) and Home & Garden Television (HGTV) sponsor a communications campaign encouraging garden communities to plant a row of vegetables/herbs/flowers and then donate the results to a local homeless shelter.
Overall objectives for the project include:
- Facilitation and application of social skills between peers
- Providing a hands-on approach to math and science
- Increasing environmental awareness
- Opportunities for sensory processing
- Providing project evaluation through art
- Increasing their sense of civic responsibility
- Assisting the city in beautification of the area
