Teacher Resource Binder

Our heavy duty binders are built to last and contain all of the teacher instruction pages, corresponding transparencies of student pages, and a Lesson Index that describes the lessons. We organized it by topic according to the suggested pacing calendar provided. The program is divided into two semesters. There is one binder for each semester.

Showcase student lessons using projection. We included ready-to-use support materials like the Lesson Index, suggested pacing calendar, sample data collection models, and other support products to save you time.

The lessons and the assessment for use in one week’s instruction are all outlined with a bold black box. The entire lesson group is taught and assessed in one week.

You may review the information in the Lesson Index and use your core curriculum pacing guides to select groups of lessons and decide when they will be taught, or you may use the Suggested Pacing Calendar provided.
