CCEE: Design • Focus on student learning• Create comparable expectations for students
with significant cognitive disabilities• Use performance terms to describe what
students should know and be able to do• Insure that final elements are measurable
and observable

• Align CCEEs across and between grades

CCEE: Modes of Communication• Where no limitations has been stated, no
limitation should be inferred.• Students’ opportunities to learn and to
demonstrate learning should be maximized by providing whatever communication tools are necessary and routinely used by the student.
