A curriculum guide is a packet of practical ideas for teaching that is written in a convenient format as practical teaching notes for use in the future by either you or your colleagues. It is a how-to guide that covers steps for achieving specific objectives, principles governing behavior, or descriptions of effective teaching strategies, interventions, and accommodations that special educators can use in their classrooms.

The guide might include the title of the strategy or principle, explanation of its educational purpose (goal or objective), task analysis of teacher and student activities, and student assessment procedures. Each strategy should be referenced.

In 1,250-1,500 words, develop a curriculum guide for spoken language and word recognition that addresses the following:

1. The curriculum guide should include grading criteria that accurately, thoroughly, and clearly guides the reader in the implementation and application of the strategies you have designed. This should be usable by any of the teachers in the school.

2. It should be a reference in a format that provides you and your professional colleagues with practical information necessary for effective teaching of students with learning disabilities.

3. It should include a minimum of three references.
