A Statewide Exploration of the Nature and Use of Curriculum in Special Education.
Sands, Deanna J.; And Others
Exceptional Children, v62 n1 p68-83 Sep 1995
Curriculum beliefs and practices were surveyed with 341 Colorado elementary and secondary special education teachers. Findings include: training in curriculum development occurs mostly on the job; teachers want training in teaching compensatory and life skills; teachers believe that individualized education plans constitute the curriculum for students with disabilities; and curriculum focus varies little across service-delivery models.
