Iowa Department of Education releases the Iowa Core Essential Elements for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities
It is
with great pleasure to announce the Department will released the Iowa
Core Essential Elements for students with significant cognitive
disabilities on October 9, 2013.
The
Iowa Core Essential Elements are not a redefinition of the Iowa Core
standards, but rather specific statements of the knowledge and skills
linked to grade-level
Iowa Core English Language Arts and Math standards and are intended to
describe challenging expectations for students with significant
cognitive disabilities.
Through
instruction of the Iowa Core Essential Elements and a personalized
learning approach for adult life outcomes, the State of Iowa’s students
with significant
disabilities will increase their development of academic skills and life
goals to reach their maximum potential.
The
Iowa Core Essential Elements and other supporting media will be located
within the Department of Education’s Iowa Core webpage:
If you would like additional information, contact Emily.thatcher@iowa.gov
or 515-281-3500.
