Remedial Services

PMOIU #2 offers math and reading services to the non-public schools within the City of Pittsburgh.  Reading and math are offered at the elementary and high school levels. Multiple criteria are used to select students who need intervention.  These measures include standardized assessments, classroom performance, and school and parent referral.  Instruction, provided by qualified IU #2 personnel at the school site, is designed to meet the individual needs of eligible students.  Collaboration with the classroom teacher is an integral part of the students’ lessons.

Parents are a vital part of the IU’s remedial program.  IU teachers attend school parent-teacher conferences and send home student reports bi-annually.  At the elementary level a monthly parent newsletter is sent home and a parent workshop is offered each semester.  Strategies and materials are given at these sessions to assist parents in working with their children at home.
