Webinar, February 6th, 2021, with the 321 Foundation of Burlington, MA. “Accessing the Curriculum in Our New Socially-Distanced Normal” explores ways to support your child’s growth within the general education curriculum by understanding how to use the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks Resource Guide.
* As students get older and the general curriculum standards become more complex, it is important that families understand how to find the entry points into the curriculum. Accommodations and modifications are key to a successful educational experience.
