• Teachers need to… – prepare students with computer skills– determine logistics of administering an online assessment
to a large group of students
• Some elements were difficult for students…– Scrolling– Drop-down boxes
• System needs to…– highlight words as they are being read– allow student to turn audio off

The Common Core Essential Elements are specific statements of the content and skills that are
linked to the Common Core State Standards grade level specific expectations for students with
significant cognitive disabilities.

Common Core Essential Elements: Design Priorities
• Define essential differences from grade to grade in
– cognitive demand
– content knowledge
– skills-based expectations
• Identify the key elements essential for each grade level.
– Not necessarily a one-to-one relationship with Common Core State Standards
• Align Essential Elements across and between grades

Students will:EE3.OA.1-2. Use repeated addition to find the total number of objects arranged in a square or rectangular array.Ex. Using tiles in a template, identify the total number of tiles by adding the tiles in the template.Ex. Fill space of squares and rectangles with 1-inch tiles, add tiles in rows or columns to determine total number of tiles it takes to fill the shape (square/rectangle).Ex. Use an abacus to find the total.Students will:
