4 Reasons PC was developed
 To modify the curriculum to add more math,
science , world languages and ELA than
required by the MMC.
 For students transferring in to the district from
out of state or Non-public Schools that do not
follow MMC.
 Allow modifications of the Algebra II credit over
2 years and still meet 4 years of math
requirements.
 Modify MMC content expectations for a
student with a disability
How did we get started?
 District School board to decide if they
want to provide this option for students
to meet the MMC.
 Establish a committee to develop forms,
procedures, and responsibilities for the
PC process. (our forms on MAASE Wiki)
 Identify district team to participate in
actual PC process when requested by
parent.

of parent requests a Personal
Curriculum ( PC )
Step 2 : PC team meets to review student
data including EDP and decides on:
 How much of the MMC content is
practicable
 Measurable goals
 Alignment with EDP goals
 Alignment with IEP
 Step 3: PC team writes agreement and
gets signature from superintendent,
parent and student.
 Step 4; Parent monitors progress
through quarterly reports from each
teacher of the modified curriculum area.
 Student’s IEP identifies supports,
accommodations and modifications.
