Including All Families: Special Education at Muir

John Muir is proud to support students through two special education programs: Resource and Extended Resource.

• Resource: Provides specially designed instruction and targeted support for students with specific academic and/or social skill needs. Students spend the majority of their instructional time in general education with support based on their IEP.
• Extended Resource: Provides specially designed instruction for students with moderate to intensive academic, functional, and social-emotional needs. Students may receive specialized instruction in small-group settings while continuing to participate in general education to the greatest extent appropriate.

Our special education team works closely with students, families, and general education staff to provide services aligned with each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and support their success in the least restrictive environment.
