Culturally Responsive Orientation and Mobility Standards

Beschreibung

At last! The field of Orientation and Mobility (O&M) embraces the 21st Century Model for standards-based instruction with these research-based, peer-reviewed, and validated performance standards that correlate to success in career, college and community life. Commensurate with general education curriculum, these learner performance standards give important credibility to O&M instruction by providing measurable, age-appropriate and culturally responsive outcome targets to guide assessment and instruction. For those who don't understand what O&M is and for those who fund it, the O&M CCCRS clearly articulate and justify a learner's need for instruction, justify a level of service needed to meet age-appropriate performance targets and justify the tools need to do the job. This is a must resource for master and novel-level instructors alike.
