Show Notes

What do you use for curriculum in your special education program?
Do you follow what the general education students are using?
Do you use a tried and true program completely separate from the gen ed curriculum?
Do you search for the next greatest lesson on the internet to teach a specific skill?

Today, for the last episode of the Sped Teacher Small Talk for the year, Paul and I dive into the complex topic of curriculum for special education teachers....

What should we be using?
Why is following a curriculum important?
Is it okay to adapt it?
The benefits of breaking a curriculum up to have students work in small groups.
Why some type of curriculum is better than none.

Listen in as we explore the various approaches to curriculum in different special education settings and highlight the importance of finding a balance between adhering to a curriculum and addressing individual student needs and hear how Paul shares about how students thrive with consistent effort and personalized teaching.
