Teaching in an Age of Accountability 2
History of Curricula for Special Education Developmental: looks at sequential steps defined for
typically developing children and takes students step by step through exactly the same sequence
Functional: looks at future environments in which a student must function and work on skills necessary for success in those environments
Social Inclusion: looks at the skills necessary for students to participate in learning and social activities with their age appropriate peers and focuses on participation in those activities
General Curriculum Access: looks at elements of grade level appropriate, general education curriculum and focuses on learning that content

Teaching in an Age of Accountability 4
Developmental(1970’s)
Innovative and showed that students with disabilities could learn
Didn’t work for students as they got older

Teaching in an Age of Accountability 5
Made senseStudent success “Push down” effectActivities vs. skills Limits on expectations
Functional(1980’s)
![Page 6: History of Curriculum: Where We Are Today - … · History of Curriculum: Where We Are Today TASH 2006 Annual Convention November 9-10, 2006 The National Alternate Assessment Center](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022017/5b7975057f8b9a332d8dbb3c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Teaching in an Age of Accountability 6
Communication and social skills could flourish
Realized that classroom routines had functional opportunities
Academic skills were functional
Social Inclusion(1990’s)
![Page 7: History of Curriculum: Where We Are Today - … · History of Curriculum: Where We Are Today TASH 2006 Annual Convention November 9-10, 2006 The National Alternate Assessment Center](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022017/5b7975057f8b9a332d8dbb3c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Teaching in an Age of Accountability 7
Access to the General Curriculum (2000’s)
Realizes that students could learn content
Increased knowledge and development of technology offers increased access
Does not limit expectations Addresses standards based curriculum
(sequential vs. catalog approach to curriculum)

Teaching in an Age of Accountability 8
Important Learning from Each Evolutionary Period
Activities and materials must be chronologically age appropriate while understanding the emerging development of each student
Functional skills remain a high priority, but must be taught in the context of general curriculum/activities
Social relationships are important but are developed around a shared culture

Strongest research exists for…
Teaching students with the most significant cognitive disabilities sight words using repeated trial instruction with systematic prompting with feedback– With errorless learning strategy like
time delay

Only found 10 studies; all single subject
Total N=42 participants
All in separate special education contexts; one in a summer program
Nearly all were Science for Personal and Social Perspective (First aid and safety research)

Continued Learning
Continue to refine our perceptions of curriculum to ensure success in current and future environments
Access to formal and informal curriculum
Functional skills have not been sacrificed
