ALA PROGRAM Pearland’s DAEP Placement is 30 days
Based on daily earned credit Grade level classrooms
Core teachers rotate Students remain in their seat all
day, only leaving their seat for: designated restroom breaksLunchPE

POINT SHEETS 60 to 70 points per day for credit Incentives for good behavior:
10 consecutive days of earned credit allows the student to eat lunch in the cafeteria, instead of in the classroom
A perfect point sheet earns the privilege of PE after 6th period each day
When a student wants to misbehave, a gentle reminder about keeping the privilege of PE or lunch is usually enough!

adult literature (school-appropriate, of course)
Gifts toward the purchase of new titles each school year.
