  1. An Overview of NCSC Curriculum and Instruction: Understanding the Schema

  2. Theory of Action Long-term goal: To ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities achieve increasingly higher academic outcomes and leave high school ready for post-secondary options. A well-designed summative assessment alone is insufficient. To achieve this goal, an AA-AAS system also requires: • Curricular & instructional frameworks • Teacher resources and professional development

  5. Common Core State Standards • Define grade level content and achievement; • Define rigorous content and skills (application knowledge); • Align with expectations for college and career success; and • Do not tell teachers how to teach, but they do help teachers figure out the knowledge and skills their students should have so that teachers can build the best lessons and environments for their classrooms. http://www.corestandards.org/

  7. Learning Progressions • Define research-based pathways for learning; • Developed and refined using available research and evidence; • Have clear binding threads that articulate the essential core concepts and processes of a discipline (sometimes called the ‘big ideas’ of the discipline); and • Articulate movement toward increased understanding (meaning deeper, broader, more sophisticated understanding).

  9. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading Key Ideas and Details 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. 2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. 3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Reading Standards for Literature

  18. Curriculum Resource Guides

  19. What is included in CR Guide? • Part 1- Content • Explanation of how prioritized CCCs under topic are taught in a general education setting • Also includes common misunderstandings in content area and prior knowledge/skills needed

  20. What is included in CR Guide? • Part 2 – Tables with CCCs and Performance Examples • 1st table includes CCCs aligned with the topic for Grades 3-High School • Topics include: Measurement/Geometry, Equations, Ratios and Proportions, Data Analysis, and Fractions* • 2nd table includes sample summative assessment items related to topic • Essential Understandings expectations are included

  21. What is included in CR Guide? • Part 3 – General Education Activities • Sample activities from published general education resources • Links across content areas (ELA, science, social studies, etc.) • Part 4 – Real World Applications • Ideas for teachers to use to reinforce concepts in real world contexts • Promoting Career and College Readiness • Standards for Mathematical Practice

  22. What is included in CR Guide? • Part 5 – Ideas for Promoting Career and College Readiness • Specific to topic • Address College and Career Ready Outcomes: • Communicative competence • Fluency in reading, writing, and math • Age appropriate social skills • Independent work behaviors • Skills in accessing support systems

  23. What is included in CR Guide? • Part 6 – Accessibility for All Learners • Basic numeracy skills and pre-requisite skills that can be taught concurrently for each topic • Topic specific UDL table with multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement for learners with specific needs

  26. What is included in IR Guide? • Overview of Systematic Instruction • Importance of Finding a Response Mode • Explanation of Instructional Strategies and “how to” • Provides sample script for math and ELA skill for each instructional strategy • Troubleshooting Q&A • Constant Time Delay (CTD) • System of Least Prompts (LIP) • Model, Lead, Test • Example/Non-example Training

  29. UDL Unit Plans/ Lesson Plans • UDL unit plan and sample daily lesson plans • These are developed for the entire general education class to be inclusive of ALL students • Purpose: to model how to plan for all students from the onset of instructional planning (universally designed learning) including students in AA-AAS • Excellent for co-teaching and collaborative planning • Promote inclusive instruction; show how students who participate in AA-AAS can be in general education • Developed by University of Kentucky

  30. Unit Plans For example, a lesson on area might provide: Multiple means of representation – Provide students with a copy of the word problems and the table. Have drawings and 2 and 3 dimensional manipulatives available for students to use. Multiple means of expressions – Allow students to solve the problem using formulas and/ or models and record information into tables using various formats: computer, graphic organizer (premade or original), etc. Allow students to use a reference of formulas: print, pictorial or tactile. Multiple means of engagement – Ensure each student is actively involved in his/her partnership. Use scenarios (unit rates) related to student interests. For example, if a student is interested in animals instead of orchard trees, the scenario could involve a rate of grazing area per horse. As you observe pairs working, use questioning to get students to explain their strategies. Lessons are taken from the general education curriculum; principles of UDL are applied

  31. Unit Plan cont. then modified and or adapted for Emerging Readers and Emerging Communicators • Multiple means of Engagement..... Showing the end first - present the concrete example of the graph with the trees.... Then with the end in mind... students at multiple levels can solve in multiple ways... either count or solve using a calculator, graph paper, 2 and 3 dimensional manipulative materials • Multiple Representation....  2 dimensional  paper with trees, 3 dimensional objects on green construction paper or cardboard squares. • Multiple means of Expression – Picture problem choices: present 2 choices of possible correct responses... including words or pictures, tactile representations ...

  33. What is included in a MASSI? • Color coded with instructional family • CCC, CCSS, lesson objective by grade level • Materials • Overview for all 3 grade levels

  34. Leveled Instruction Bolded text indicates teacher script Instructional strategy: CTD Check and Score: Teacher scores on Progress Monitoring Sheet. Numbers correspond with number on data sheet. Goals for each grade level in grade band Instructional strategy: LIP

  35. Progress Monitoring Data Sheet • Follows MASSI; steps correspond with steps of task analysis • 1st column: materials to present to student • 2nd column: instructional cue and prompt (if applicable) • 3rd column: student response

  36. MASSI is comprised of many steps • Broken down into segments to teach across multiple sessions/days • Indicates our suggestion for stopping places • How to administer skills test (teacher says/does, student response, and error correction) • Provides suggested criterion for moving forward (~60% or higher) • “Next”- what is to come in lesson and suggestions for each grade level

  37. Each MASSI has a troubleshooting section • Each MASSI has a culminating activity to reinforce concepts in a real world activity • Table for building towards full grade level competence • Activities that would be expected at grade level for each CCSS addressed
