An Overview of NCSC Curriculum and Instruction: Understanding the Schema Theory of Action Long-term goal: To ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities achieve increasingly higher academic outcomes and leave high school ready for post-secondary options. A well-designed summative assessment alone is insufficient. To achieve this goal, an AA-AAS system also requires: Curricular & instructional frameworks Teacher resources and professional development Career College Community Curriculum Common Core Standards Learning Progressions Core Content Connectors Instruction Assessment Grade-level Lessons Accommodations Systematic Instruction Formative, Interim Communicative Competence Summative SCHEMA for Common Core State Standards Resources NCSC Instructional Resources WHAT TO TEACH Common Core State Standards Core Content Connectors Content Modules Learning Progressions Frameworks Instructional Families Graduated Understandings HOW TO TEACH Element Cards Ele Unit UDLs MS Unit UDLs HS Unit UDLs Curriculum Resource Guides Instructional Resource Guide Ele MASSIs & LASSIs MS MASSIs & LASSIs HS MASSIs & LASSIs =Standards documents = Documents that promote teacher understanding of the content = Documents that promote instruction of the content Common Core State Standards • Define grade level content and achievement; • Define rigorous content and skills (application knowledge); • Align with expectations for college and career success; and • Do not tell teachers how to teach, but they do help teachers figure out the knowledge and skills their students should have so that teachers can build the best lessons and environments for their classrooms. http://www.corestandards.org/ SCHEMA for Common Core State Standards Resources NCSC Instructional Resources WHAT TO TEACH Common Core State Standards Learning Progressions Frameworks Core Content Connectors Content Modules Instructional Families Graduated Understandings HOW TO TEACH Element Cards Ele Unit UDLs MS Unit UDLs HS Unit UDLs Curriculum Resource Guides Instructional Resource Guide Ele MASSIs & LASSIs MS MASSIs & LASSIs HS MASSIs & LASSIs =Standards documents = Documents that promote teacher understanding of the content = Documents that promote instruction of the content Learning Progressions • Define research-based pathways for learning; • Developed and refined using available research and evidence; • Have clear binding threads that articulate the essential core concepts and processes of a discipline (sometimes called the ‘big ideas’ of the discipline); and • Articulate movement toward increased understanding (meaning deeper, broader, more sophisticated understanding).

Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. 2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. 3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Reading Standards for Literature Grade 3 students: 1. Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers. Grade 4 students: 1. Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. Grade 5 students: 1. Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. CCCs 3.RL.h1 Answer questions related to the relationship between characters , setting, events, or conflicts (e.g., characters and events, characters and conflicts, setting and conflicts). CCCs 4.RL.i1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly. CCCs 5.RL.b1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly. 3.RL.i2 Answer questions (literal and inferential) and refer to text to support your answer. 4.RL.i2 Refer to details and examples in a text when drawing basic inferences about a story, poem, or drama. 5.RL.b2 Refer to specific text evidence to support inferences, interpretations, or conclusions. 3.RL.i3 Support inferences, opinions, and conclusions using evidence from the text including illustrations. 4.RL.k1 Use details and examples in a text when explaining the author’s purpose (e.g., what did the author use to scare you, surprise you?).

Have drawings and 2 and 3 dimensional manipulatives available for students to use. Multiple means of expressions – Allow students to solve the problem using formulas and/ or models and record information into tables using various formats: computer, graphic organizer (premade or original), etc. Allow students to use a reference of formulas: print, pictorial or tactile. Multiple means of engagement – Ensure each student is actively involved in his/her partnership. Use scenarios (unit rates) related to student interests. For example, if a student is interested in animals instead of orchard trees, the scenario could involve a rate of grazing area per horse. As you observe pairs working, use questioning to get students to explain their strategies.
