- The NCSC GSEG intends to provide quality curriculum resources for educators to use and reference when delivering instruction that is aligned to the Common Core State Standards to students with significant cognitive disabilities. Using the Learning Progression Frameworks developed by Karin Hess NCSC curriculum developers have taken apart the Common Core State Standards to arrive at the Core Content Connectors. The Core Content Connectors (CCC's) are graphically presented in the Graduated Understandings as part of the Instructional Families. In addition, a series of Content Modules that present specific content accross grade bands has also been developed.

[edit] Learning Progressions Frameworks
- The Learning Progressions Frameworks (LPF) were designed for use with the Common Core State Standards in both English Language Arts and Literacy and Mathematics. The LPFs are based on research that describes how understanding of core concepts in English Language Arts and Mathematics typically develop over time when students have the benefit of high quality instruction. These frameworks offer a guide for the development of curriculum and assessment and assist educators in lesson planning. (Hess & Kearns, 2010, 2011)
[edit] Graduated Understandings
- The Graduated Understandings are comprised of Instructional Families and Element Cards. They present the areas of curricular emphasis within and across grades and the progression of learning within domains of the Common Core State Standards.
[edit] Core Content Connectors
- The Core Content Connectors make connections between the Learning Progressions Framework indicators and the CCSS.
[edit] Content Modules
- The Content Modules offer general background for educators in content areas covered in the Common Core State Standards. The Content Modules present information and examples of concepts accross grade bands; providing examples of instruction and accomodations/adaptations for topics that may be difficult to teach.
