#6: Complete General Education Core Curriculum –
modified for students with Severe Cognitive Impairments
Clarification:
Performance Expectations (PE 1-5) for the Participation Curriculum are aligned with the
Michigan Curriculum Frameworks. To facilitate students achieving their greatest potential
within the General Education Core Curriculum, section #6 was added. This section includes
mathematics, language arts, technology, science, and social studies content. It is recognized
that all performance expectations for this population are best learned when applied in real life
contexts! The content is listed in this separate section for convenience in finding it in one
place. An indexed outline of this section is on the next page.
