CORPORATE STATUS The American Printing House for the Blind, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non- profit organization. Gifts, therefore, are tax deductible. WHAT IS THE CORE AND EXPANDED CORE CURRICULUM? CORE CURRICULUM Educators define core curriculum as the knowledge and skills a student should learn by high school graduation. This foundation, for almost all learning, is generally related to academic subjects. EXPANDED CORE CURRICULUM The American Printing House for the Blind, and most professionals in the field, firmly believe that visually impaired students need an expanded core curriculum that encompasses additional areas of learning. Experiences and concepts casually and incidentally learned by sighted students must be systematically and sequentially taught to students with a visual impairment. Dr. Philip Hatlen (1934–2016) authored the introductory copy at the beginning of each of the Expanded Core Curriculum sections in this catalog. Dr. Hatlen’s numerous accomplishments included the original development of the Expanded Core Curriculum. Dr. Hatlen had many connections at APH, including acting as Ex Officio Trustee and our Executive in Residence.
