CCEE: Design • Focus on student learning• Create comparable expectations for students

with significant cognitive disabilities• Use performance terms to describe what

students should know and be able to do• Insure that final elements are measurable

and observable

CCEE: Design• Define essential differences from grade to

grade:– Cognitive demand– Content knowledge– Skills-based expectations

• Align CCEEs across and between grades

CCEEs are NOT…• Replacements for the Common Core State

Standards• Downward extensions• Statements of functional skills• Curriculum or learning progressions• IEP goals or benchmarks

Like the Common Core State Standards, the Essential Elements

do NOT define all of what is taught or how it should be taught.

CCEE: Modes of Communication• Where no limitations has been stated, no

limitation should be inferred.• Students’ opportunities to learn and to

demonstrate learning should be maximized by providing whatever communication tools are necessary and routinely used by the student.
