Curriculum Resource Guides

Revision as of 12:19, 16 January 2013

The Curriculum Resource Guides provide guidance for teaching the Common Core State Standards to students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, provide examples for differentiating instruction for a wide range of students in multiple grade levels, and identify the necessary skills and knowledge students need to acquire/master the content.

The Curriculum Resource Guides were developed and validated by content experts and special educators with extensive experience in adapting general curriculum for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The Curriculum Resource Guides describe how to teach the content to students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, whereas the Content Modules describe the content (what is being taught) in general education. Together, the Content Modules and the Curriculum Resource Guides provide teachers with the necessary background knowledge to prepare students for the NCSC alternate assessment and offer examples of how the content is taught in general education, ideas for real life use, examples of universal design for learning, and ways to promote college and career readiness.

The Curriculum Resource Guides have the following curricular emphases:
