The Expanded Core Curriculum: Where We Have Been, Where We Are Going, and How We Can Get There
Sapp, Wendy; Hatlen, Phil
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v104 n6 p338-348 Jun 2010
Although teachers consider the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) critical for students' success, they do not provide their students adequate instruction based on principles of the ECC. A minimum level of competence for assessment and instruction in the ECC should be established for novice teachers. Personnel preparation programs should evaluate how to prepare teachers better to implement the ECC, and professionals should commit themselves to teaching the ECC in a way that ensures their students' success.
