Curriculum & Instruction — Instructional Materials

These materials are provided by their authors in a spirit of sharing and are not meant as official models or anything of that sort. Many materials are in Microsoft Word, so that you can adapt them for your needs. They are typed up for your convenience, but in reality they might exist as handwritten plans or pages in a planning book. We recognize too that a single lesson plan often opens up to cover many classes.

Please note, these materials may not be published in any form without the author's permission. Where contact information is not provided below, please e-mail Carey Reid at: creid@worlded.org

Finally, do you have materials to share? We'd love to include them on this site. Especially needed are class level curricula, and also lesson planning formats that are different from the table and narrative styles featured here. Also needed are plans that show how you accommodate students at different knowledge or skill levels, a common challenge in our field! Please contact Carey Reid about new materials or about ideas for improving this site.
