How is it unique? How is it urgent? (How does it address a current need?) How is it ultra-specific, yet a part of a bigger curricular infrastructure? Slide 3: Purpose of the Curricular Unit Who is the unit intended for (grade, age, etc)? Where does it fit into the established curricula? What state/federal education standards does this unit align to? Slide 4: Curricular Unit Learning Objectives Start with an action verb. Use the framework “Students will be able to…” (SWBAT) You should have at least 2. Slides 5-7: Strategies of Instruction (may take more than one slide) What are the ways you are going to present the information? What resources are you going to use? What are the activities the students will participate in? Individual versus collaborative Synchronous versus asynchronous Slides 8-9: How You Will Evaluate the Implementation and Instruction What are the student deliverables? What are the rubrics? Give examples of both the deliverables and rubrics. Slides 10-11: How You Will Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Curricular Unit How will you evaluate student success? How will you evaluate the success of the unit overall? Slides 12-13: Curricular Mapping Tables (create a table for each of the following) Show how the artifacts map to the unit objectives. Show how the deliverables map to the unit objectives. Slide 14: Reflection Talk about how the curricular design process has changed the way you understand the profession of teaching. Slide 15: References Provide APA references for all of the artifacts that will be used in the unit. Provide APA references for all in-text citations/quotations. Submission Instructions: Create a presentation with a minimum of 15 slides. The presentation is to be clear and concise and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and misspelling. The slides should be formatted per current APA, excluding the title and reference slides. Research and incorporate a minimum of 3 current academic resources within your work. Lecture materials may be used, but do not count toward the five sources that you are to research.

In this assignment, you will evaluate assessment results for a hypothetical student with disabilities, integrate evidence-based practices, and organize the findings along the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Continuum using a visual or graphic organizer.
Focused on Henry, a student with a specific learning disability impacting reading comprehension and written expression, you’ll address his needs within the context of his learning environment. Drawing on universal learning and behavior characteristics for students with similar disabilities, you’ll explore proactive classroom intervention techniques to support Henry’s academic and social/emotional development.
This task not only underscores the importance of utilizing assessment data for accurate placement but also highlights your role in collaborating with IEP teams to recommend effective interventions tailored to individual student needs.
As you navigate this assignment, consider:
• How characteristics of these behaviors impact student outcomes and educational performance.
• The importance and value of selecting effective research-based interventions that align with student needs.
• The importance of ethical communication and collaboration with IEP team members when selecting and implementing these evidence-based practices.
• Support and accommodations for students with exceptionalities.
• How this assignment will impact your current or future practices working with exceptional learners.

Scenario: Mr. Franklin approaches you for guidance. He is struggling to support Henry’s needs and next steps in his inclusive classroom.
Together, you brainstorm strategies for aligning placement decisions, assessment practices, and evidence-based interventions to meet Henry’s needs effectively based on the decisions of the assessment and IEP teams.
Recognizing the importance of visual aids, you decide to create a visual or graphic organizer to illustrate this process, helping Mr. Franklin visualize the interconnected steps to support Henry’s academic success.
Content Instructions:

• Contrast the different placements along this Least Restrictive Environment continuum, ranging from more restrictive to less restrictive environments.
• Summarize the evaluation and eligibility determination process for students with disabilities, noting key factors considered during this process, such as assessments, observations, and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings.
• Describe the assessment to practice cycle in special education.
• Explain how assessment data informs instructional practices and intervention strategies.
• Highlight the cyclical nature of assessment, planning, implementation, and progress monitoring.
• Explain the importance of aligning educational goals with assessment data.
• Explain how assessment results guide the development of measurable, achievable goals for students with disabilities.
• Provide examples to illustrate this alignment.
• Explain the significance of aligning support and instructional strategies with educational goals.
• Analyze the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) as a resource for evidence-based practice strategies to support student needs across domains (e.g., academic, social/emotional, and behavioral supports).
• Explain how educators can access and utilize the WWC to find research-supported interventions and instructional methods.
