AB - A sophisticated curriculum design for special education classes must be needed to maximize the effectiveness of inclusive education for students with special needs including the at-risks and to systematically organize their teaching and learning process. Based on the classic curriculum theory, Backward Design advocated by Wiggings and McTighe(1998) has been widely used in general education aiming for the authentic learning of students based upon their educational needs. The design is similar to the instructional approaches, such as Task Analysis and Instructional Adaptations, for developing students' Individualized Educational Plan(IEP)s in the filed of special education. Accordingly, it is valuable to explore the applicability of the design for curriculum development of special education classes at the elementary level, especially considering the strong connections between curriculum and students' IEPs. This aligned work will reduce the double torture of curriculum development for the special class and setup of individual students' educational plans among special education classroom teachers. Starting from the theoretical reviews of Backward Design, this study provided a framework for implementing the design to develop classroom curriculum and IEPs with examples. Implications for the practices and future study were addressed as follow: (a) positive aspects of strong connections between IEP and curriculum for both teacher and student, (b) teacher accountability for development and management skills of their classroom curriculum, and (c) instructional supports for enhancing authentic learning of their students.
