ALTERNATIVE
STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS (PASS)
MATERIALS – INTEGRATED SCIENCE I
We are pleased to announce the distribution of a new Parallel Alternative Strategies for Students
(PASS) package,
Integrated Science I.
The content-centered package supports the Florida
Department of Education’s goal of highest student achievement by providing instructional
activities designed to supplement state-approved textbooks and other instructional materials and
to assist teachers who are teaching science to students of various achievement levels and diverse
learning needs. This PASS package was developed through the joint efforts of exceptional
student education and content area teachers throughout Florida, under the coordination of the
Curriculum Improvement Project, Leon County School District.
The content of the new
Integrated Science I
book (course number 2002400) is designed to
correlate classroom practices with the
Florida Curriculum Frameworks
and the Sunshine State
Standards. Copies of the
Integrated Science I
package are being sent to every Florida high
school, and sets are being sent to each Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System
Associate Center. To distribute these materials, principals should identify science teachers in
their schools who are working with exceptional students in regular education settings. Please
note that there is a pull-out evaluation form in the front of the teacher’s guide. We ask your help
in having the selected teachers fill out the form and return it to us. Persons returning evaluation
forms by August 31, 2006, will be eligible to receive additional complimentary copies.
