Special Education Curriculum
All students, regardless of identified need or condition, shall be provided a well-balanced curriculum. The essential knowledge and skills represent the core knowledge, skills, and competencies all students should learn to be effective and productive members of society. Students with identified needs shall be instructed in this content in a manner appropriate to their needs. When an identified disability renders grade level instruction inappropriate, the student's instruction shall be specially designed, based upon established student strengths.
The method of instruction, pacing, or material shall be modified, as appropriate, to provide students identified as having special needs with the full opportunity for learning the essential knowledge and skills.
Programs for special education may use specialized personnel to assist in the delivery of instruction. Such personnel and regular program instructional personnel shall be jointly responsible for the cooperative delivery of effective instruction in essential knowledge and skills as appropriate. Programs for special education are coordinated with and are an integral part of the total instructional program.
