Welcome to the National Center and State Collaborative Wiki!

The National Center and State Collaborative (NCSC) is a project led by five centers and 24 states (13 core states and 11 Tier II states) to build an alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS) for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. The goal of the NCSC project is to ensure that students with the most significant cognitive disabilities achieve increasingly higher academic outcomes and leave high school ready for post-secondary options. Find out more about NCSC at http://www.ncscpartners.org.

This wiki was created by the University of Kentucky to host the curriculum and instruction materials developed by UNCC. The wiki and the materials hosted here help educators accomplish the NCSC goals and deliver instruction aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The materials are grouped in three categories:

• Curriculum Resources - What to Teach (reference materials created to reinforce educators' understanding of curriculum content)
• Instructional Resources - How to Teach (reference materials created to support classroom teaching)

• All Resources - QUICK LINKS : Browse all the types of resources based on category (CCCs, Element Cards, Content Modules, etc)

The graphic below presents the relationships between Curriculum and Instructional Resources developed in the NCSC grant.
