Disabilities should be an essential part of any curriculum discussion because it can impact a student's ability to learn certain material. Dylexic students for instance will have a fundamentally harder time with reading comprehension and writing than other students. Therefore, their IEP will factor in their learning disability in order to allow them to reach their own goals in terms of education level and standards. Without such a criteria certain students will become frustrated and oftentimes underperform.
Reading Levels
Reading level refers to ability of students to read and comprehend instructional material. It is critical to understand that students' reading levels might be higher or lower than their grade level. A fifth grader might enjoy reading books with a 6.0 to 6.9 reading level, which would be appropriate for the average sixth grader.
By using assessments that indicate a student's reading level, teachers can select readings that are a close match with the student's ability. Most educational publishers correlate their products to grade and reading levels. Teachers can keep texts a grade level above and below that of their students to meet differing needs.
Readings levels ensures that students gain the confidence to progressively improve their reading abilities. Reading skills are essentially learned through persistence,...
This can be primarily be accomplished through dividing students into different reading groups and assigning them each a specific list of books to read from. Thus, students will be among peers at their current reading level and they can all find common ground on specific books to read.
Curricular Goals
These are some of the broadest types of goals. Teachers use national, state, and local curriculum standards to guide instruction. Agencies usually produce goals for reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, fine arts, and career/technical education. The goals help teachers structure and focus their lessons.
Curricular goals creates a focus for students, they can be used as an assessment tool for students and parents always to know where their current academic level is at. Thus, these can be a set of modular units, lessons, or tests that will define how they have performed based upon curricular goals and thus give students a precise understanding of their current position within the model.

The field of education has experienced significant reforms in the past decade because of the need for a standards-based, accountability-centered, and systematically-integrated approach for enhancing the quality and outcomes of learning (Porter & Smithson, 2001). As a result of these reforms and need, policymakers, researchers and other relevant stakeholders in this field have become interested in examining the curriculum delivered to students. This interest has primarily focused on the link
(Thompson, Morse, Sharpe and Hall, 2005, p.40) The work of Vaughn, Levy, Coleman and Bos (2002) entitled: "Reading Instruction for Students with LD and EBD" published in the Journal of Special Education repots a synthesis of "previous observation studies conducted during reading with students with learning disabilities (LD) and emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD)." (p.1) a systematic process of review of research conducted between 1975 and 2000 is stated to have "yielded
Teaching Reading in the Content Areas Reading of content area is observed to provide some gratifying instances and also capable of creating critical circumstances. Due emphasis is being laid on reading in the sphere of evaluation of the developed contents at state and federal levels. The teachers seem to come across varied theories and instructional approaches while attempting to include the content area matters in their teachings. All the numerous approaches
RTI Response to Intervention Response to Intervention (RTI) Over the past decade, rapid changes have occurred in general educational practice to increase the focus on early identification of and intervention for students considered at risk. The aptly named response-to-intervention (RTI) model of service delivery is generally described as a multi-tiered model whereby students receive interventions of increasing intensity, with movement from one level to another based on demonstrated performance and rate of progress

It is argued that teacher are exposed to role conflict, role ambiguity, lack of autonomy, social isolation and lack of self-fulfillment resulting from the special position in the schools bureaucratic system. Coupled with this is the general tendency for the teaching profession to be the least rewarded in the hierarchy of jobs. The physical education teacher and burnout intersect at two different but related points. Firstly the notion that the
