A curriculum is NOT the same as Specially Designed Instruction!
When parents ask how their child is being taught, schools may respond with names like i-Ready or Renaissance STAR.
But here's the distinction: A program or curriculum is a TOOL. Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) is HOW teaching is adapted to meet a student's unique needs.
Technology can support learning, but simply using a program doesn't explain the individualized instructional strategies being provided.
Parents, ask: “How is this program being adapted to address my child's specific learning needs?”
