Achievement-Based Curriculum (ABC) - Project I Can

Achievement-Based Curriculum (ABC) - Project I Can. Improving the quality of physical education instruction for all students preschool through secondary. Approved by JDRP/PEP for teachers (special education, physical education, adapted physical education, and/or combinations) of disabled children in special and/or regular educational programs.

Description The Achievement-Based Curriculum (ABC) - Project I Can model has five major components to help teachers implement quality school programs: assess, prescribe, teach, evaluate, and plan for essential objectives in physical education for children and youth from near zero to functional level of competency. The curriculum materials (I CAN) represent a bank of 200 student performance objectives for qualitative assessment, prescriptive instruction, evaluation, student reports, and a computer management system for the school program.

The ABC model can be: (1) implemented without exotic equipment or facilities; (2) implemented by classroom teachers, physical education specialists, or combinations; (3) adapted to local needs and resources to either develop a comprehensive mastery in learning program, preschool through high school, or supplement an existing program; and (4) implemented by the user in compliance not only with P.L. 101.476 but also in response to school reform movements--pursuit of equity and excellence in American schools for all students.

An ABC videotape is available. Training costs are shared among the school/district, State Facilitator Project, and the ABC Project.
