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

Pearland ISD

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.

Most popular books in high school:

Percy Jackson series The Hunger Games trilogy, Conspiracy 365 series.

If there is a book a student is interested in, we will get our hands on it and capitalize on their interest!
