Welcome to the Curriculum Assistance Website for the Autism and Behavior Support Team.

On the toolbar located on the left, you will be able to navigate different resources to assist students and families. As your student's case manager and/or Curriculum Assistance (CA) teacher, I hope you find this information helpful. 

Curriculum Assistance (CA) is a class designed to provide support for students with disabilities who are enrolled in regular education classes. The four main components of this CA class are:

• social, emotional skills, and behavioral support,

• remedial assistance based on IEP goals,

• executive functioning  skill building to support social and academic skills;

• collaboration/communication between teacher, family, and student.

Curriculum Assistance Structure

Each CA class is broken into 4 segments:  warm-up, mini- lesson, supported/independent academic recovery, and closing. One day a week, students participate in peer to peer or group social skills lessons to practice social, functional and problem solving skills.

 Warm Up Focus: Students develop executive functioning skills related to organization and emotional regulation.

Lesson Focus: Short lessons to build/assess student knowledge of social emotional, social, and executive functioning skills.  Sometimes, a link can be made to support an objective taught in regular education classrooms. 

Independent/Supported Work Block: Time given to students to work on assignments for focus lessons and to assess IEP goals.  Students are provided 2 days per week to further develop their organizational skills to check grades and manage that school work.

Closing: Wrap to recall information for the day with a sprinkle of social skills building.

Curriculum Assistance is not utilized to complete missing work or homework unless a student has completed their required Curriculum Assistance assignments.

HOMEWORK & ASSESSMENT BOARDS

The  Classwork-Homework & Assessment Boards are used as a support tool for families to assist with assigned homework each night.  You may use it to verify assignments. Many teachers have their assignment listings and Canvas pages.

Please keep in mind, your student is in the process of developing independent skills for managing schoolwork and they are directed to write what makes sense to them in their agendas.  This does not always translate to what parents expect, please use these links to aid your understanding of academic expectations.
