CASE STUDY

Let’s try one together

Case Study – your turn

Read the case study that is closest to your group’s grade level.

Use the 9 grid of curriculum adaptations blank copy to write up your analysis of this student.

AFTER you finish, compare it with the one that is the example for that student

SAVE your copy for later use!

Exit and next steps:

How does the 9 grid of curriculum types apply to the TAP rubric?

How do you think you can apply this to your Instructional Plans on the TAP?
