St. Theresa's LRC Tailors to Student Needs


From Sugar Land, Texas, Michael Eugene Goldak graduated from the College of William & Mary before working for St. Theresa Catholic School in Houston, Texas. Here, Michael Eugene Goldak is an operations assistant.

St. Theresa Catholic School believes that learning is impacted by the student's attitude. Students have varying educational needs based on their personality, learning styles, and interests. In addition to providing students a quality education, St. Theresa Catholic School facilitates the Learning Resource Center.

The Learning Resource Center was created to foster a desire for lifelong learning in students. The resource center offers classroom tutorials throughout the school day, extended time for testing, consulting, and one-on-one or small group instruction to resolve learning issues.

Before gaining access to the Center, students must pass the IOWA Basic Skills Test. Their eligibility is also determined depending on an evaluation of teacher referrals performed by the principal and center director and if they need additional assistance from a formal educational evaluation.
