Implementing Modifications

Summary:

This page provides a definition of modifications and links to information about two types of curriculum modifications, the legal basis and implications, and training resources.

Modifications are changes to WHAT a student is expected to learn. They are available to students with disabilities who are working substantially below grade level and who are not expected to be able to meet the benchmarks of the Sunshine State Standards or graduate with a standard diploma.

Types of modifications:

• Alternate Curriculum – the student works on access points for the Sunshine State Standards, which reflect the core intent of the standards with reduced levels of complexity.
• Partial requirements – the student is expected to master selected outcomes for Career and Technical Education Programs.

Impact of Modifications

• Special Diploma, Option 1
• Special Diploma, Option 2
• Special Certificate of Completion
