A curriculum guide is a packet of practical ideas for teaching. It is written in a convenient format as practical teaching notes for use by either you or your colleagues. It is a how-to guide that covers steps for achieving specific objectives, principles governing behavior, or descriptions of effective teaching strategies, interventions, and accommodations that a special educator can use in the classroom. The guide might include:

1. The title of the strategy or principle

2. An explanation of its educational purpose (goal or objective)

3. A task analysis of teacher and student activities

4. Student assessment procedures

5. A reference for each strategy

Create a curriculum guide for teaching an academic subject with additional learning strategies and possible behavioral interventions for any off-task student. Include practical information necessary for effective teaching of students with EBD.

The curriculum guide should be sufficiently accurate, thorough, and clear to such a degree that the reader can implement the strategies. The guide should be usable by any of the teachers in the student’s school.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
