The ACAP Alternate Teaching Strategies Toolkits were developed in conjunction with Alabama special education and content educators. These toolkits offer instructional guidance to teachers and promote learning for students with significant cognitive disabilities who qualify for the ACAP Alternate.
The Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
- provide a starting point for teaching the Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards that align with the Alabama Course of Study Standards;
- provide content‐based differentiation strategies, tools, and methodologies for instruction for students with significant cognitive disabilities;
- provide teachers with a method to delineate and build on the skills and knowledge needed for students with significant cognitive disabilities to master the alternate standards; and
- provide content‐based examples to aid in instruction for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
The ACAP Alternate Teaching Strategies Toolkits are organized by subject, grade, strand, and learning objective.
