Scientist. Inventor. Painter. Sculptor. Architect. Cartographer. Mathematician. Maverick?

Learning Resources for Special Needs Students - this Week’s Topic on the Gateway to 21st Century Skills

Inclusive classrooms are the norm in many school districts. As a result, the typical classroom teacher now encounters children with a wide range of abilities, including those with special needs. Despite the challenges raised by their disabilities, special needs students can, and often do, thrive in the inclusive classroom.

What people are saying about the GLRC

“The Gateway will provide an excellent framework for assessing the value of the GLRC effort through its automated means of data collection and teacher access.”

- John Wilson, Executive Director, National Education Association (NEA)


In support of the Global Learning Resource Connection: “The K-12 education community is continuing to grow their use of digital resources. However, ensuring that our selected, quality materials are searchable and relevant is of critical importance. High quality metadata ensures that our education community is linked to great content and that content is aligned to ever evolving standards.”

- Lee Sartain, Education Policy Specialist, The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, North Carolina State University


“NCVPS has served over 65,000 student enrollments over its brief history, and has over 400 teachers working with those students. The partnership with the Global Learning Resource Connection (GLRC) will allow these teachers and students access to an increased expanse of relevant educational content in an efficient and seamless manner.”

– Chanin Rivenbark, Chief Technology Officer, North Carolina Virtual Public School


“The Achievement Standards Network (ASN) provides a model for profiling curriculum statements and linking those statements to education resources using various RDF vocabularies. By profiling curriculum statements to learning resources, more precise matching is achieved”.

– Les Kneebone – Project Manager, Education Services Australia Ltd.
