Transitional Living Philosophy & Curriculum During the summer of 2007, ISVI also completed a curriculum on Transitional Living for grades Kindergarten through grade 12. The philosophy of that guide is provided below. The curriculum is aligned to the Illinois State Learning and Emotional Standards and was adopted from the Texas School for the Visually Impaired Curriculum. To request a copy of ISVI's curriculum, please send an e-mail to the Dean of Education using this link.
The Transitional Living Program (TLP)
curriculum at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired (ISVI), adapted from
the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired Independent Living
Curriculum, includes the essential knowledge and skills required by the Illinois
State Board of Education (ISBE) for all students. In addition to achieving ISBE
expectations, the TLP curriculum also aims to achieve the mission of ISVI which
is,” ...to serve as a statewide resource offering students experiencing visual
impairments quality services which will enable them to become personally
productive and self-sufficient citizens.” The TLP curriculum also incorporates
the seventeen essential workplace skills and includes a diagnostic process that
works within the assessment framework of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). |
