Our students are mildly cognitively impaired and struggle every day to be socially accepted. They work very hard in our core subject area classes with all their struggles in school and especially at home. Our school is in an urban setting, and families experience many difficulties in buying essentials for daily living. We look at our "class store" as a very positive way to reinforce the student behavior and specific skills they may need to focus on to become more independent people in society. They work towards earning money from two CI teachers a week and then use the money to purchase items in the store. This aligns precisely with our more functional curriculum.
