Part IV: Stepwise Process to Access Grade Level Content Standards and Curriculum

   As many educators struggle with how to effectively teach and help students with significant cognitive disabilities progress in the general curriculum, it may be beneficial to follow a stepwise process that keeps the focus on learning. The purpose of Part IV is to offer educators a practical approach to accessing the general curriculum and has been developed to be used at a classroom level in planning for instructional units. This process may be helpful to adapt for use at a systems level as well; however, it should be noted that as written, it is primarily meant to guide instruction at an individual student level.
