The whole concept of making
curricular modifications is huge, and can get confusing.
Some Realizations are…Not all students will or should… Learn all of the content Do all of the assignments or instructional

The Only Way to Make Appropriate Curricular
Modifications…is to plan and define exactly what part
of the curriculum or what content should be achieved by the student or students for a subject area or class, unit of study, an individual lesson, or an individual instructional activity.
Don’t wait and just modify the test or grading scale!
SupportingCurricular Modifications
Start with the big picture. Standards, course and unit orientation.
Target the most basic information, skills or concepts. Choices have to be made.
Prioritize. List the information, skills or concepts to be learned in order of importance, then start at the top of the list. You not get mastery on the whole list.
Task Analyze. Choose or define steps and structure the instruction to move the student through those steps
Structure team planning. Share information, define learning, problem solve, and use a format (form 8 as an example).
How to MAKECurricular Modifications
Increase the Odds. Reinforce information increase memory and recognition factor by teaching key vocabulary and concepts as sight words and connect to visual, auditory and kinesthetic memory.
Back up to go forward. Always connect new learning to something the student already knows or understands, then move forward.
Key to concrete or tangible examples, application and practice. Conceptual or abstract learning or examples will be difficult.
Repetition is necessary. (again and again)
How to MAKECurricular Modifications Choose information that relates to
real life or a necessary skill that the student will need to know or use. Infuse basic skills whenever possible.
Connect to standards. Move to a more general standard or to a lower grade level equivalent or to an IEP goal.
Avoid creating mountains in the Dead Sea. The intent is to raise the water level!
Facilitate partial participation Parts of what everyone else is doing may be very appropriate
The Real Trick is Deciding The Real Trick is Deciding that…that…

Tips for Making This Happen Be aware of the target students and consider
individual IEP needs in planning Brush up on basic communication and
“people” skills Incorporate strategies and techniques that
have a sound research base. Do more than whole group instruction Not everything works Make major changes only at natural breaks,
like the end of a semester
