Curriculum Resources

The NCSC GSEG intends to provide quality curriculum resources for educators to use and reference when delivering instruction that is alingned to the Common Core State Standards to students with significant cognitive disabilities. Using the Learning Progression Frameworks developed by Karen 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.

Graduated Understandings

The Graduated Understandings are comprised of Instructional Families and Element Cards. They present the areas of curricular emphasis within and accross grades and the progression of learning within domains of the Common Core State Standards.

Core Content Connectors

The Core Content Connectors make connections between the LPF indicators and the CCSS.

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 particular concepts included in specific content areas accross grade bands and are intented to provide examples of instruction for topics that may be difficult to teach.
