A Quick Overview of THE PENNSYLVANIA EXPANDED CORE COMPETENCIES for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
This content is what differentiates instruction by a TOD from instructional support in the general curriculum (i.e. in LS).
This content is what differentiates instruction by a TOD from instructional support in the general curriculum (i.e. in LS).
This curriculum & its resource documents were developed in the state of Iowa (revised in 2013). Its purpose is to define skills & knowledge that students with hearing loss often miss if only exposed to the general ed curriculum. Many of these skills are acquired by hearing students through incidental learning, whereas our students often need direct instruction in these same areas, by a ToD. The PA-ECC-DHH is a great starting point to show the IEP team specifically how DHH support has a different focus than learning support and other related services. Something to celebrate indeed! PESDHH has developed an in-depth study of the PA-ECC-DHH that can be presented to groups of teachers, either face-to face or virtually. If you are interested, please contact:
