Draft Document for Proposal for Elective Course

Curriculum

Curriculum – Three Options
Autism Internet Modules Historically used Thorough content Ready to Use Developed for Professionals START P2P Curriculum Engaging Content Age Appropriate Aligned with AIM Modules Develop Your Own Tons of resources “out there” Can tailor to your specific needs Time consuming

Autism Internet Modules
Option #1 Autism Internet Modules (AIM)

Curriculum Levels Level 1 – Basic – 8 Modules (6th-12th Grade)
Level 2 – Intermediate – 9 Modules (6th-12th Grade) Level 3 – Advanced 1 – 11 Modules (9th-12th Grade) Level 4 – Advanced 2 – 10 Modules (9th-12th Grade)

Flexibility In the Curriculum
6th – 12th Grade Students in Different Grades at Same Level Entry Point - Level 1 – Basic Regardless of Grade of Peer to Peer Support Student 6th, 7th and 8th Graders – Level 3 and 4 with Permission Only On-Line or Direct Instruction

Specific Example A 12th Grade Peer to Peer Support Student in their 1st Semester of the program would enter the curriculum at Level 1 – Basic and may complete the following On-Line Modules: 1. About Autism Spectrum Disorder 2. Recognizing Autism – Assessment for Identification 3. Peer Mediated Instruction 4. Prompting 5. Reinforcement Restricted Patterns of Behavior Interests and Activities Many teachers are using the post-test of each module to help determine the grade for the class.

Specific Example Two 7th Grade Peer to Peer Support Students are in the same hour. Student A - 3rd Semester Student B - 1st Semester Student A is Level 2 – Intermediate – On-Line Student B is Level 1 – Basic – On-Line Teacher of record must track the level of each peer to peer support student in each class

START Online Curriculum
