Curriculum Barriers

The motto "One-Size fits all" is old news. Every student is a different shape, different size, different color. Teachers and administrators can not continue to place kids in the same category. When teachers are creating there lessons they must remember to make adjustments to meet the students needs based on their IEP's.
The website that discusses the Curriculum Barriers is very useful. It offers background information and models to explain and demonstrate the concepts of their implementations.
