Special Education Challenges
• Will CCSS change what special educators
need to know?
• Will CCSS lend itself to modifications for
learning profiles without minimizing the
expectations?
• How will important access and transition
skills be integrated into the teaching
schedule? CES February 2012
There is very little guidance on how to
answer these questions!

• “Students are expected to meet each year’s
grade-specific standards.”
• “Students demonstrate command of standard
English…”
• “…teachers are prepared and qualified” [to teach
ELLs and students with special needs]
• “…all students are college and career ready by
the end of high school.”
There is very little guidance on how to make this
happen for ELL students!
