Appendix C - Students with Disabilities

The Board of Regents, through part 100 Regulations of the Commissioner, the Action Plan, and The Compact for Learning, has made a strong commitment to integrating the education of students with disabilities into the total school program. According to Section 100.2(s) of the Regulations of the “Commissioner of Education, “Each student with a handicapping condition as such term is defined in Section 200.1(ii) of this Chapter, shall have access to the full range of programs and services set forth in this Part to the extent that such programs and services are appropriate to such student’s special educational needs”. Districts must have policies and procedures in place to make sure that students with disabilities have equal opportunities to access diploma credits, courses, and requirements.


The majority of students with disabilities have the intellectual potential to master the curricula content requirements of a high school diploma. Most students who require special education attend regular education classes in conjunction with specialized instruction and/or related services. The students must attain the same academic standards as their non-disabled peers to meet graduation requirements, and, therefore, must receive instruction in the same content area, at all grade levels. This will ensure that they have the same informational base necessary to pass statewide testing programs and meet diploma requirements.
Teachers certified in the subject area should become aware of the needs of students with disabilities who are participating in their classes. Instructional techniques and materials must be modified to the extent appropriate to provide students with disabilities the opportunity to meet diploma requirements. Information or assistance is available through special education teachers, administrators, the Committee on Special Education (CSE) or student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Strategies for Modifying Instructional Techniques and Materials.





  1. Students with disabilities may use alternative testing techniques. The needed testing modification must be identified in the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). Both special and regular education teachers need to work in close cooperation so that the testing modifications can be used consistently throughout the student’s program.




  1. Identify, define, and pre-teach key vocabulary. Many terms in this syllabus are specific, and some students with disabilities will need continuous reinforcement to learn them. It would be helpful to provide a list of these key words in the special education teacher in order to provide additional reinforcement in the special education setting.




  1. Assign a partner for the duration of a unit to a student as an additional resource to facilitate clarification of daily assignments, timelines for assignments, and access to daily notes.




  1. When assigning long-term projects or reports, provide a timeline with benchmarks as indicators for completion of major sections. Students who have difficulty with organizational skills and time sequence ma need to see completion of sections to maintain the organization of a lengthy project or report.



Infusing Awareness of Persons with Disabilities Through Curriculum.

In keeping with the concept of integration, the following subgoal of the Action Plan was established.


In all subject areas, revisions in the syllabi will include materials and activities related to generic subgoals, such as problem solving, reasoning skills, speaking, capacity to search for information, the use of libraries, and increasing student awareness of and information about the disabled.
The purpose of this subgoal is to ensure that appropriate activities and materials are available to increase student awareness of disabilities.
The curriculum, by design, includes information, activities, and materials regarding persons with disabilities. Teachers are encouraged to include other examples as may be appropriate to their classroom or the situation at hand.
Appendix D - Student Leadership Skills
Development of leadership skills is an integral part of occupational education in New York state. The New York State Education Department states that “each education agency should provide to every student the opportunity to participate in student leadership development activities. All occupational education students should be provided the opportunity to participate in the educational activities of the student organization(s) which most directly relate(s) to their chosen educational program”.
Leadership skills should be incorporated in the New York state occupational education curricula to assist students to become better citizens with positive qualities and attitudes. Each individual should develop skills in communications, decision making/problem solving, human relations, management, and motivational techniques.
Leadership skill may be incorporated into the curricula as competencies (performance indicators) to be developed by every student or included within the suggested instructional strategies. Teachers providing instruction through occupational educational curricula should familiarize themselves with the competencies. Assistance may be requested from the State adviser of the occupational student organization related to the program area.
Students who elect to become active members in student leadership organizations chartered by NYSED have the advantage of the practical forum to practice leadership skills in an action-oriented format. They have the potential for recognition at the local, state, and national level.
