3 Important facts about the Expanded Core Curriculum for Students with Vision Impairments
3 Important facts about the Expanded Core Curriculum for Students with Vision Impairments
The Expanded Core Curriculum or ECC is a disability-specific curriculum for children with vision impairments. It covers nine designated areas that children with vision impairments miss because of their vision loss. Expanded Core is not a replacement to academic curriculum. It is equally important in education value.
The teacher for students with vision impairments provides guidance and instruction in Expanded Core areas.
Related servers, paraprofessionals, special and general education teachers also help support Expanded Core instruction. ECC instruction is provided at school, home and the community.
Expanded Core instruction is for students of all abilities and vision impairments. The Expanded Core is taught differently than core curriculum. Many of the 9 areas of the Expanded Core can be infused into lessons.
It is a nationally recognized curriculum for students with vision impairments.
