Abstract
In this chapter we outline the delivery of the classroom curriculum content within the G-ESDM approach. In the G-ESDM, curricular activities are set to expand children’s repertoire of behaviors during group activities, which must be meaningful and rewarding, include multiple teaching episodes, and incorporate individual goals within group routines. Strategies like offering choices and organizing the group routines around clear, predictable and shared goals are critical to support active participation, self-determination and intrinsic motivation. Roles and responsibilities of team members in the G-ESDM are described, as are resources to assist the team to implement the program as intended.
