Areas that I Incorporated that were new to this Curriculum Mapping I wanted to incorporate these topics because when working with a special education K-2 these are issues needed to be addressed in my class daily. Without addressing these three areas, because of student need, these areas need to be addressed before the lesson, during the lesson, and after the lesson. Self- personal hygiene, safety choices, consequences, self-expression, Community- family, friendships and the World-, technology, our surroundings and population.

Why I chose Curriculum Mapping? To ensure that I am covering the standards, benchmarks, and objectives in the 1 st Grade Reading Triumphs Intervention Program. My goal is to help my students develop real world concepts when learning how to read. I want to make my teaching strategies become clear and create a balance between teacher-directed concepts and student thinking.

Through this process I Discovered: I need to participate in more grade level planning correlating with the K-2 team on a more regular basis besides social activities I also learned that as a Special Education team we should be working more collaboratively to ensure that the skills we teach are being carried over from primary to intermediate grades. I need to becoming more familiar with Models like Understanding by Design, Differentiated Instruction, and 21 st century concepts that provided to help included, and combine these models into our current curriculum to have a successful competitive curriculum.

My Predictions I predict these changes will run smoothly. Through this, delivery of the curriculum it would be conveyed that these are vital strategies used to focus on the quality of learning for the future of children to become productive citizens and this will help them in all aspects of life

Conclusion When addressing Self, Community and the World by identifying some of the roles they play in their various situations, it will help students to explore their beliefs, values, and the basic needs. They will also need to identify their own values and the affect these various roles will play in within themselves, the community and the world, while still learning how to read and write.
