Associate Chief School Administrator/Principal The Day School at the Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA BACKGROUND For over 50 years The Day School at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh (The Day School) has cultivated a learning environment for students and their families in which teachers, parents and community partners collaborate to ensure that a dynamic and progressive educational program is provided. The Day School is an Approved Private School, licensed by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Private Academic Schools and approved as a Special Education School by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education. The school is fully accredited by the National Commission for the Accreditation of Special Education Services and serves approximately 190 students from Allegheny and surrounding counties in 26 beautifully designed and maintained classrooms. With a pervasive and palpable culture that is kids-first, students from ages five to 21 call The Day School “their school.”
Presently, two primary programs exist at the school: elementary and secondary programs for students with Autism and Multiple Disabilities. To ensure a focus on students, the student-teacher ratios are kept low, with typically six to eight students in a classroom with one teacher and two full-time paraprofessionals.
All of The Day School students are offered the “specials” — classes of adapted physical education, art, library and music — taught by certified teachers in those subject areas. Each of the “specials” teachers is assisted by one paraprofessional dedicated to that classroom.
Student progress in classrooms is enhanced and reinforced by a full complement of related services in the areas of Occupational, Physical and Speech and Language therapies. Also provided are behavioral support, social work and psychological services, and play and social skills training.
All of the teaching and administrative staff members hold credentials appropriate to their positions, and all certifications meet the requirements needed to serve in either public or private schools in Pennsylvania.
In addition to newly renovated classrooms, students enjoy a large gymnasium, a full-size swimming pool, a student library, treatment areas for occupational, physical and speech/language therapy, a fully equipped sensory room and a multi-purpose room used for lunches and other activities.
The Day School shares a strong commitment to quality. On an ongoing basis, new methods and materials are explored, best practices use is encouraged and the staff has opportunities to develop and maintain their skills and increase their knowledge for the benefit of student progress.
What every visitor to The Day School notices first above all else is the focus on children first. The care and concern extended to the children and young adults permeates the culture and results in dedicated staff, low turnover, and high quality outcomes. Staff describes the environment as collaborative, energetic, family-like, supportive and nurturing. Furthermore, innovation drives the pedagogy with the development of a leading edge transition curriculum for 18-21 year olds, requests to share institutional knowledge with other organizations, and a dedication to staff growth and skill development.
