The Only Way to Make Appropriate Curricular

Modifications…is to plan and define exactly what part

of the curriculum or what content should be achieved by the student or students for a subject area or class, unit of study, an individual lesson, or an individual instructional activity.

Don’t wait and just modify the test or grading scale!

Page 36: LCNCK Mission and Vision LCNCK Mission and Vision Mission Statement: The LCNCK is dedicated to providing students a continuum or special education supports.

SupportingCurricular Modifications

Start with the big picture. Standards, course and unit orientation.

Target the most basic information, skills or concepts. Choices have to be made.

Prioritize. List the information, skills or concepts to be learned in order of importance, then start at the top of the list. You not get mastery on the whole list.

Task Analyze. Choose or define steps and structure the instruction to move the student through those steps

Structure team planning. Share information, define learning, problem solve, and use a format (form 8 as an example).

Page 37: LCNCK Mission and Vision LCNCK Mission and Vision Mission Statement: The LCNCK is dedicated to providing students a continuum or special education supports.

How to MAKECurricular Modifications

Increase the Odds. Reinforce information increase memory and recognition factor by teaching key vocabulary and concepts as sight words and connect to visual, auditory and kinesthetic memory.

Back up to go forward. Always connect new learning to something the student already knows or understands, then move forward.

Key to concrete or tangible examples, application and practice. Conceptual or abstract learning or examples will be difficult.

Repetition is necessary. (again and again)

Page 38: LCNCK Mission and Vision LCNCK Mission and Vision Mission Statement: The LCNCK is dedicated to providing students a continuum or special education supports.

How to MAKECurricular Modifications Choose information that relates to

real life or a necessary skill that the student will need to know or use. Infuse basic skills whenever possible.

Connect to standards. Move to a more general standard or to a lower grade level equivalent or to an IEP goal.

Avoid creating mountains in the Dead Sea. The intent is to raise the water level!

Facilitate partial participation Parts of what everyone else is doing may be very appropriate

Tips for Making This Happen Be aware of the target students and consider

individual IEP needs in planning Brush up on basic communication and

“people” skills Incorporate strategies and techniques that

have a sound research base. Do more than whole group instruction Not everything works Make major changes only at natural breaks,

like the end of a semester
