Part 2- Curriculum Guide

The curriculum guide was designed to assist teachers in planning instruction that utilizes literature to teach in ways that accurately reflect and honor the lives of all people with disabilities. The curriculum guide consists of sample learning objectives, lesson ideas, and evaluation strategies. These resources are organized based on the final rubric scores obtained by analyzing the work with the rubric. Based on the final rubric score, teachers can provide instruction that specifically addresses the manner in which the literature portrays individuals with disabilities. It is important to note, however, that no matter what final rubric score the literary work obtained, the goal of all lessons is to teach understanding of people with disabilities in ways that promote their inclusion and value in school and all aspects of community life.
