US Foreign Policy for Special Education Contemporary Issues

This US Foreign Policy Unit contains almost 200 pages and 46 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school.

This unit addresses US foreign policy, its goals, main supporting organizations like the United Nations, and why it is so important. The information is presented in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the importance of having a good relationship with many foreign countries.

This repetition encourages a better understanding in order to make personal connections. In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

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.
