Mathematics Instruction: Objectives
Participants will:
• Explain the development of math instruction in
ULS
• List the math concepts in all grade bands of ULS
• Locate resources in ULS to help you
teach math
• Describe the math components in all
n2y products
Mathematics Instruction
Why do I need ULS?
Federal Mandates
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
 IEP teams must address how students will participate and progress in
the general curriculum.
No Child Left Behind 2001 has impacted where we are today
 Improve teaching and learning for ALL students, including students with
disabilities.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) will impact where we are going and n2y
will be ready!
 ALL students must be receiving instruction based on their state’s academic content.

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Please make sure to cover that key legislation mandates that we teach standards based curriculum. We are closely monitoring Every Student Succeeds Act. Read about it if you are not up to date. http://www.ed.gov/essa This is from Kathy Staugler’s notes and it will provide you with a reference for the language being used as we talk about ULS: Prior to 1975 and IDEA, or P.L. 94-142 as it was originally known, many children with significant disabilities were excluded from an education. As programs were developed for these students, the educational experience was expected to have a functional or life skills focus. While these functional life skills are important for our students, the expectation for academic learning was so minimal that most students with cognitive delays were never presented learning that included reading, writing or math. Current educational mandates require that all students learn within the framework of the state content standards. Admin Bullet: Aligns to the mandates of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for all students to access, participate and make progress in the general curriculum. ULS lessons and data collection support IEP development. Language from the support Center: Today’s legal mandates tell us that all students must be educated in a standards-based curriculum. Our students with significant disabilities must not only participate in reading, writing and math activities, they must make progress with the general curriculum Unique is a standards-based curriculum program designed specifically for students with significant disabilities. Unique looks at the essence of content standards and designs the lessons and material that provide academic learning that is required in depth and breadth within core areas of the content standards. As of Aug 2012, all lessons are aligned to the common core standards but we are also aligned for those states that are no longer part of the Common Core or never participated in the CC as well as the Dynamic Learning Maps. ULS meets the needs of underlying theme of functional skills yet makes connection to academic outcomes.
