Pathways for Progress: Social Studies Access Points for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities

Workshop Description

This is a three-hour workshop with two sessions designed to help educators who serve students with significant cognitive disabilities learn about the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Social Studies adopted by the State Board of Education in December 2008.

The workshop materials may be used for professional development about the Social Studies access points. Workshop sessions enable participants to examine the content and organization of the revised standards and access points and learn about planning instruction of the access points for instructing individual students.

Technical Assistance: Staff from the Accommodations and Modifications for Students with Disabilities Project at FSU are available to provide technical assistance regarding dissemination and implementation of the workshop to school districts, Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System Associate Centers, and other groups.
