I know you are being asked to teach more rigorous standards, which can be challenging, especially in the upper grades. This material is meant to prepare students for testing and be successful with regular curriculum content in a way that is age-appropriate yet still accessible.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
