Curriculum Modifications
CURRICULUM MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS CRITICAL IF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES ARE TO ACHIEVE ACCESS TO AND MAKE PROGRESS IN THE GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM.
Curriculum Modifications
- For students who are not working at grade-level
- Substitutions, deletions, additions to curriculum
- Fundamentally changes the curriculum
- Alters learning outcomes
- Grading and credit is different
Steps to Modifying Curriculum
- Determine the curriculum that will be used.
- Use IEP goals, interests, and abilities to guide choice.
- Determine how the curriculum will be accessed.
- What changes can we make to lesson? (content, conceptual difficulty, educational goals, instructional method)
- Design accessible and achievable content.
- What changes can we make to lesson? (content, conceptual difficulty, educational goals, instructional method)
Is it too complex?
Do I need to change the learning outcomes?
Do I need to change the content?
Should I teach it another way?
Alter Conceptual Difficulty
- Means to change the level of difficulty of the lesson.
- For example, a teacher can provide the words for the students to use for the assignment. The student must put the words in the appropriate place.

The Ancient Pyramids of Egypt
Why were the pyramids built?
The pyramids were built as a resting place and to protect the Kings and queens of Egypt and other important people. Around were 130 pyramids built, the biggest one was the Great Pyramid of Giza. This was the tallest building in the world for 3800 years until the Eiffel Tower was built. It was built for the Pharaoh Khuf and took 20 years to build it! They were built next to the River Nile, this was because it was easier for the builders to move the large stones by boat and then they were pulled to the building area. Scientists today are still not completely sure how the ancient Egyptians moved the massive stones. Once a pyramid was finished it was covered with white stone and gold was put on the top. In the bright Egyptian sunshine, the white and the gold would have gleamed brightly.
The Egyptians believed that people would move on to another life, so they filled the pyramids with many jewels, gold and even food. They thought that the pharaoh would need these things in their next life. The body was cleaned and wrapped in bandages to protect it and put into a stone case. They also have many of their things buried with them and people drew beautiful pictures on the walls which told the story of their lives. The ancient Egyptians used a language called 'Hieroglyphics' which was a mixture of drawings and signs. So we can discover how these kings and queens lived.
Tunnels were thought to be for the pharaohs and all of their valuables. The engineers knew that thieves would try to steal the gold and jewels, so they made traps and false rooms. They put doors which opened onto a wall. But it didn't stop the thieves as many of the pyramids were robbed. Anyone who tried to steal from the pyramids was immediately put to death.
Alter Educational Goals
- Means to change the learning outcome of the lesson.
- For example, a teacher can modify a math sheet on fractions to create a math sheet on addition by having the student add the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
