2022 HELIX Virtual Experience: High Expectations for Students with Low Incidence Disabilities
30. 21st Rigorous Expanded Core
Session Dates
Wednesday November 16, 2022 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Webinar
Closed
The goal of the Expanded Core should be to help produce interdependent individuals who are self-reliant and contributors to today’s world. In order to accomplish this, our students must have deep and meaningful connections to the world around them as well as real essential core skills of 21st century learning such as critical thinking. We need to upgrade our instruction to an authentic approach that supports applying and transferring skills. There is too much of the Expanded Core that is taught in fragmented scenarios where students are disabled to transfer skills and knowledge from one environment to the next.
Participants will be able to:
- Utilize the Expanded Core High School Readiness Checklist and screening tools in order to diagnose weak areas for students.
- Identify 21st Century Skills that promote Expanded Core learning and development.
- Design rigorous Expanded Core lesson plans.
Target Audience
Teachers, administrators, speech language pathologists, related service providers, consultants, training and consulting staff, paraprofessionals, family members
