Case Studies Activity for Modifying Curriculum

In the early childhood years, children gain a multitude of knowledge and skills related to all areas of development and learning. Understanding the progression across the early childhood continuum allows teachers, administrators, and families to offer the supports needed to foster optimal development and learning. In Texas, there are three sets of standards that cover the knowledge, skills, and behaviors across the early childhood years. They include the Texas Early Learning Guidelines for Infants, Toddlers, and Three-Year-Olds, the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines, and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. Displayed below is a visual representation of the alignment of these three sets of standards.

1. Specifically designed instruction must meet student needs to ensure progress regardless of where the student receives academic instruction. If a student is capable of being in the general education classroom successfully that is the location where all academic needs should be met
2. STAAR vertical alignment
3. Clarification between Accommodation v. Modification

# data[].attributes.body
1. Being more specific within IEP for needed modifications per subject
2. Utilizing Vertical Alignment document to support with modification
3. Instructional Decision-Making guides were also super helpful!

I really like the STAAR ALT alignment doc and am looking forward to utilizing it to determine post appropriate placement for students.

1. I will definitely be sharing the resources with teachers for supporting effective modifications for students (vertical alignment doc, implementation guide, companion document, etc.)
2. Making sure I keep an eye out for when grading document is completed to better support schools/teachers

1) student as case study and break down steps as we did in group activity
2) PLAAFPs, modification, and impact of disability on student success in GenEd - explicitly stated

I would like more guidance and resources for specifying level of modifications within the student's IEP (Accommodation page, etc.)
- Keenan Allison

Detail how the mods will be implemented, not only that they will be necessary for the child to access the gen ed curriculum. I would add an example

I like using teksguide.org as a vertical alignment resource but it is missing math teks. Finding easy to use and view vertical alignment resources remains a struggle. Good resources today to help with that.

# data[].attributes.body
I will share the resources from today's training with my cohorts.  The vertical alignment piece is underutilized on the secondary level.

I will also spend more time developing IEP's that will help assist core subject teachers implementation so that student success is achievable.

This presentation clearly emphasized best practices and TEA guidelines. Districts need to do a better job at clarifying these to all stakeholders and train SpEd and GenEd faculty and staff accordingly.
