Learning Goals Participants will be aware of laws and regulations
that frame the ECC Participants will be aware of the effective
instructional continuum for the ECC Participants will participate in a community of
learners around the ECC content areas Participants will gain knowledge in the ECC
instruction across the continuum of ages and developmental levels as they engage in conversation with experts and review lesson plans, activities, and resources.

What do we know? We have no standards of practice for
completing or writing up an Essential Assessment (EA)
![Page 9: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Collaborative Study with AER (N=163)
Representation from the NE, SE, SW, NW, MW, and 1 Canadian 54% have taught more than 11 years Most worked in a school district (38%) Most had 20 or less students on their caseload (17.2% 5 or less) When asked if state required Essential Assessment (EA)
94% FVA 95% LMA 68% ECC
Participants were asked about each component of the EA rubric and the majority of participants included all component areas (79.8%-98.2%) with near/distance acuity having the highest ratings. The lowest rated components were ECC screening tool and formal reading/listening skills (79.8% & 81.7% respectively)
4 teacher efficacy questions were asked Most participants had the skills necessary to complete a quality EA
and interpret the results

Authentic Assessment Rubrics to Improve Practice
A rubric is an authentic assessment tool used to measure professional’s work. It is a scoring guide that seeks to evaluate a professional’s performance based on the sum of a full range of criteria rather than a single numerical score.
Two Types of Rubrics Holistic Analytic
![Page 12: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Authentic Assessment Rubrics to Improve Practice What are the advantages to using a
Rubric? Rubrics improve professionals’
performance by clearly showing how their work will be evaluated and what is expected of them.
Rubrics help professionals become better judges of the quality of their own work.
Rubrics allow assessments to be more objective and consistent.
![Page 13: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Authentic Assessment Rubrics to Improve Practice What are the advantages of using a Rubric
continued? Rubrics force the teacher to clarify his/her criteria in
specific terms. Rubrics promote professional awareness about the
criteria used in assessing peer performance. Rubrics provide useful feedback to the teacher
regarding the effectiveness of the assessment. Rubrics provide professionals with more informative
feedback about their strengths and areas in need of improvement.
Rubrics are easy to use and easy to explain.

Integrating the Expanded Core Curriculum
Where do we get started?ere do we geted? Family-centered approach School environment life
How? Peer groups Individual lessons Team teaching approach
Find the area that is best developed and continue to build on it.
![Page 21: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Integrating the Expanded Core Curriculum
Family-Centered ApproachMust get the parents to buy in! Students need to be successful within their own
family structures Parents need to feel empowered that they are
capable and necessary to their child’s success. Knowledge of the ECC!!
Changing parents’ perspective that the ECC is merely a ‘functional curriculum’
How do we help parents evolve from the IEP warrior to co-pilot?
![Page 22: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Integrating the Expanded Core Curriculum Follow a routines based interview (RBI)
What exactly do we need now? How can we use other components of the ECC to
develop large components? How can we create opportunities for ECC to
happen? Enroll para or general ed teacher support Extra curricular activities Outreach and awareness via Facebook and
other social networks and message boards.

Integrating the Expanded Core Curriculum for children who have multiple impairments/Deafblind
Sometimes the easiest population to work in the ECC.
Be careful to label activities as the ECC. Challenges for the vision team?
No classroom follow through Sped teacher not looking at the unique needs of
vision impairment. How do we get the buy in from the SpEd teacher?

Big Brother/Big Sister Project Big Brother/Big Sister
Project is designed to provide mentorship and leadership opportunities for students.
Older students prepare Kid Kits for their adopted younger siblings.
Adopted siblings also participate at programs such as SIBS.

Student Intern Program Designed as a transition
preparation program for high school age students.
Students enter the program in the observation level. After successful observation, they progress to the following levels: -Intern 1 -Intern 2 -Senior CIT (at Camp
Abilities)-Student Supervisor
Students are assessed using the TSBVI ILSA.

QPVI is …… A data driven process for program improvement Uniquely designed for programs serving students
with visual and additional impairments in public or special purpose schools
Includes effective data collection tools that incorporate data analysis and “next steps”: QPVI Master List of Students & QPVI Caseload Analysis
Aligns with the EA Rubric in establishing standards for and uniformity of practice.

QPVI Tools and the ECC Master List of Students – page one: Who are our
students and what are their needs as reflected by valid assessments? (reference: EA Rubric)
Master List – page two: Are we conducting ECC screening and using assessment results to develop IEPs and design instruction?
Caseload Analysis: Once needs are appropriately identified by valid assessments, is there time in your caseload to meet those needs?
![Page 32: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

QPVI: Using Student Data to Allocate Caseloads and Make Staffing Decisions
![Page 39: ECC Collaborative Division Block Day July 18, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e045503460f94aefe31/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Example: Caseload Data How many students do you have? How many hours in your work week? For each student: how much service/week,
activities in support of instruction, travel time does it take to serve that student?
One student who gets 2 hours/week could easily take 6 hours out of your work week. How many 6 hour kids can you do in 37.5 hours?
