Summer Tutoring and Workshops--Click Here

The 2007-2008 school year marks the beginning of the 16th year of the Learning Enhancement Program at Lipscomb. After listening to concerned parents and their children, the administration of the Campus School decided to begin this program as a way to help our students “master skills appropriate to them,” which is part of the DLCS mission statement. The Learning Enhancement Program expanded into the middle and high school after launching the elementary program in its first year. The program continues to work to provide individualized instruction to those students who need extra instruction beyond the classroom.

The Learning Enhancement Program has worked hard the last several years to purchase screening instruments to help identify learning problems. A mixture of formal and informal measures is used to screen attention deficit, reading difficulties, and other academic areas. Screening services are designed to indicate whether or not further evaluation is needed. They do not provide a diagnosis, only surface problematic areas so that further recommendations or evaluations can be made. This method of “screening” is helpful to teachers while making decisions about the referral process for testing. Mary Little, Brenda Forehand and Emily Little are involved in the screening process at the middle and high school. LEP also offers Speech and Language testing and intervention as well as Occupational Therapy and testing through Sperry, Eppert and Associates.

The Learning Enhancement Program provides tutoring services to many children at the Campus School . The screening program, Speech and Language services, ACT, and the Elementary summer tune up camps are just some of the ways that LEP works to service the needs of the children at Lipscomb.

As Coordinator of LEP K-12, Emily Little leads the program and acts as liaison between the Learning Enhancement Program and the Administration.
