The Carolina Curriculum for Preschoolers with Special Needs (CCPSN)

Great

This book, or should I say this manual, is really important and helpful. I am a Ph.D student and I know exactly what it does mean to have a manual like this in schools. The manual gives you a chance to evaluate your students with special needs. Additionally, the manual follows the new trends in assessment and evaluation process through linking the assessment results with educational or intervention purposes. By using the Assessment Log and the Developmental Progress Chart, you, as a teacher, can link the ongoing assessment information with the IEP information for your students.This manual will help you understand the developmental level and deviance for your students, as well as how to plan for age appropriate and functional interventions.Thanks Amazon for the wonderful book.

The Carolina is being used in many preschools in the area. I purchased this book for a graduate class. It has very good information and ideas. However, I personally with use as a reference tool as opposed to a teaching tool. With time being a factor, it not organized in a way I can open it and start using it. I will have to pull ideas from several area of the book to fit my theme/project/play based preschool. The district I teach in uses a different assessment tool, but again, this can be used for reference.

Curriculum is wonderful. Methods are very simple in step wise manner

Very helpful in goals formulation as it is developmentally-rated

Excellent resource
