Special Education Department

The SPED Department at Miami Central offers inclusion classes which afford our students the opportunity to gain access to the general education curriculum in the Least Restrictive Environment.

The SPED program offers two types of diploma options. We offer a standard diploma and a special diploma to students with disabilities. The standard diploma is the type of high school diploma earned by most students who graduate from Florida high schools. Special diplomas are available to student with disabilities who are not able to meet the requirements for a standard diploma. The state of Florida provides general guidelines for special diploma options.

The School to Work Academy at Miami Central offers school site-based on the job training for students with disabilities seeking a special diploma. The students are afforded the opportunity and are exposed to both educational and vocational training in the areas of culinary arts, custodial services, and clerical services. This program provides our students the opportunity to acquire job skills and hands-on experiences while in high school. This program is only available to students with disabilities who are 18 and older.
Project Victory - click here

Our Project victory program offers vocational opportunities to students with disabilities seeking a standard and special diploma. Miami Central in conjunction with North Shore Hospital offers our students hands-on experience in a hospital setting to obtain vocational training in a halftime program. This program equips our students with job skills that they will need once they transition into the real world.
Community-Based Instruction - click here
Our community-based instruction program is an instructional method that teaches functional skills to special diploma students in the natural environment. Functional skills refer to those skills that a student needs to increase independence and to enhance quality of life. The goal of CBI is to teach students to function as independently as possible in as many community environments as they will need. By law CBI is to be scheduled at least twice a week. The core of any community-based instruction program must be directly related to the areas that prepare students to function in their community. Lesson plans and pre and post activities are to be aligned with CBI field trips as designated in the CBI handbook.
