Layered Curriculum – Dr. Kathy Nunley
Three of our teachers at the Hewes Center have been signed up for the Layered Curriculum professional development opportunity offered at St. Bonaventure University by Dr. Kathy Nunley. They are Laurie Wilcox, Valorie DeLeon and Jamie Monaco.
All these teachers are special education certified grades 7-12 and are attending a training workshop focussed on the knowledge that all educational programs are special.
There a three layers in this method, A, B and C. A and B focus on higher thinking skills, problem solving, analysis etc. C deals with understanding, information gathering and retention at the lower levels of student learning. The layered curriculum was initially pioneered in high school classrooms but is adaptable to elementary and middle school as well.
