PLANNED COURSE ADAPTATIONS/MODIFICATIONS
 


Introduction



Introduction
 

 The instructional adaptations that follow are provided as suggestions to be implemented with all students, particularly with those in need of special education services including the gifted. This listing is in no way intended to be exhaustive. Rather, it is reflective of some major considerations in the area of curriculum adaptations/modifications.
 
These instructional adaptations will work with any student, but are especially beneficial to those in need of learning support. Some may argue that these modifications are simply good teaching. Indeed, modifications of this type do represent good teaching. These principles of good teaching become instructional modifications whenever: (1) certain students in a particular class require such modifications above and beyond what is typically required by most students in that class and (2) without these modifications, these same students would not succeed.
 
Assessment is an integral part of instruction reflecting student progress as well as achievement. Therefore, also included are suggestions for assessment modifications.
 
 
  Peer Support
  Cooperative learning among peers
  Modeling
  Development of Information Organizer
  Development of Graphic Organizer
  Development of structured study guides
  Student selection of instructional material (i.e., reading, writing, math)
  Taped lessons
  Copy notes (peer or teacher)
  Student conferencing
  Combine and vary modes of lesson presentation
  Adjust language level to match the developmental and intellectual levels of students
  Let student practice given examples first. Then assign tasks to be completed.
  Provide opportunity for guided and independent practice in a variety of situations
  Limit number and length of directions
  Have students repeat/review directions (i.e., peer to peer, student to teacher)
  Give feedback that is as immediate, specific, and objective as possible
  Clarify error responses so that students do not make the same errors over and over again
  Reinforce progress towards desired outcomes
  Breakdown complex tasks into smaller, more manageable units
  Use verbal prompts to elicit desired results
  Use manual guidance (i.e., hand over hand) to facilitate correct responses
  Computer assisted instruction
  Assessment based upon teacher observation of student performance (i.e., daily work, portfolio, artifacts, projects)
  Extended test time
  Test read to student by teacher or peer
  Oral testing (i.e., student retelling of information)
  Open book/note test
  Alternate testing (any demonstration of a student's understanding of concepts)
  Retesting
  Reduce the number of responses required on tests
  Use of curriculum based assessment
  Vary test format
  Objectively define mastery as related to each task. Tasks should be learned to mastery
  Reduce or remove distracting stimuli
  Use of concrete objects and manipulatives in all stages of instruction and assessment
  Emphasize important information
  Allow extra time to complete assignments/projects
  Limit the number of assigned tasks in the initial stages of learning. As the student's competency increases, expect the student to complete the same number of tasks as the rest of the class
  Use supplemental materials
  Alternate assignments accepted (i.e., modification to homework assignments)
  Flexible grouping/individual assistance
  Seating to accommodate needs
  Teacher proximity
  Use behavioral management techniques (i.e., contracts, time-out, token system, charts)

PREFACE
 

 
 
Users and information seekers should familiarize themselves with the purpose and terminology of this Planned Course
Curriculum Guide (PCCG). We suggest that you first read the following:
 
 
            • PCCG PURPOSE AND INTENT
           • PCCG DEFINITIONS
 
 
  The PCCG specifies the unit lesson outcome, essential content, standards, activities, resources, and evaluation of student performance. This sector provides the means to initiate the learning activities to attain the program goal as identified in the course description and intent.
 
 The standards and outcomes are minimal expectations; further embellishment of the course is discretionary with the instructor depending upon the capability of the students.
 
 This PCCG is designed as an ACTIVE document capable of technological modification as required.
 
 The instructional delivery of this curriculum is quality controlled through the lesson plan development of the teacher.
 
 
 
               
 
 
 
 

PLANNED COURSE CURRICULUM GUIDE (PCCG)
PURPOSE AND INTENT
 

 
 

The Planned Course Curriculum Guide (PCCG) is a multi-purpose document:
 

•  All staff, particularly new teachers, can understand instructional expectations through the WRITTEN curriculum
 
•  A continuing district-wide instructional process and scope and sequence of subject matter are enhanced. The WRITTEN curriculum is delivered through the TAUGHT curriculum [instructional content and learning activities] and is evaluated through the TESTED curriculum [expected levels of student achievement - learning outcomes]
 
•  Priority student-centered outcomes are identified and attained through suggested learning activities and content designed to help insure a balanced and comprehensive basic curriculum
 
••  Essential content and course standards provide an efficient basis for selecting appropriate instructional materials and resources
 
•  Staff development areas for curriculum improvement are provided
 
•  The PCCG conforms with current Pennsylvania Department of Education curriculum regulations and serves the dual feature of providing both an administrative document and an instructional guide
 
•  Content and subject format remain flexible and adaptable to modification - an “active” document
 
•  Special Pennsylvania Department of Education [PDE] legislation is identified
 
•  Parents and students are provided with an overview of the instructional program and each course in particular

  "Drill and Kill" using flash cards.
 
Extensions:
  Students create visual images that represent the major concepts of the unit first, then write a narrative to explain the images -- each group's presentation then is evaluated by peers and the teacher for completeness, accuracy, clarity and overall quality.
  Students in groups construct concept maps of major topics, then pass them to one side, where the next group adds or modifies the information according to their understanding. Common errors are then grouped into categories for re-teaching and clarification.
  Students create and present a lesson on a topic using research materials, overheads, power point or other multi-media.
