Philosophy of Early Childhood SPED Description

Are techniques teachers use to help
students become independent, strategic
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES learners. These strategies when students

and use them effectively to accomplish
task or meet goals
Is an ongoing dynamic process that
modifies and adapts the prescribed
program of studies to meet the learning
CURRICULUM ADOPTION requirements of a student with special
needs. It enables the teaching team to
welcome learners of all abilities and
ensures that every student is challenged
to learn.
