• realistic attainability and appropriateness of the GOALS AND OBJECTIVES of the program

• CONTENT which provides for continuity of learning experiences to meet student needs as well as reflect state and national standards

• TEACHING STRATEGIES which encompass a wide variety of learning opportunities

• LEARNING EXPERIENCES that lead to the development of higher level thinking skills

• MATERIAL available to accomplish and enhance program goals and objectives

• on-going student and program EVALUATION

• the ability to reach BEYOND THE CURRICULUM of the K-12 classroom and into the community
