SPED 8025 - Alternate Assessment in the Content Areas

3 cr.

State and federal law require that all students have access to the general education curriculum. The focus of this class will be on standard-based instruction (using the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, MCAS Alternate Assessment). Curriculum areas to be addressed are primarily those in the cognitive domain: English language, arts, mathematics, science and technology/engineering, and social sciences. Students will work through the process of designing and preparing MCAS Alternate Assessment Portfolio entries.
