CURRICULUM MODIFICATION

The regular curriculum is modified for Special Education students enrolled in both self-contained and resource center classes.

Modifications address individual learning rates, styles, needs and the varying abilities of all special populations served in the programs available in the district.

The intent is three-fold:

• To provide alternative materials, techniques and evaluation criteria to address the range of students' needs;

• To parallel the regular curriculum in skill, content sequence and coverage to prepare students for mainstreaming;

• To maximize students' potential for movement to less restrictive environments.

In the event there is a conflict between the prescribed curriculum and the IEP for an individual student, the IEP will take precedence and will constitute the individually prescribed proficiencies for the student.
