Hello Faculty Members!
Below I have linked some helpful lesson plans that may be useful to you in your classroom. It's interesting to see what other teachers have found useful and effective in their own classrooms that we can apply to ours in our own way. I hope you can find these lesson plans as helpful as it was for me.
“Teachers must believe in change, must know it’s possible, or we wouldn’t be teaching--- education is constant change.”

“Success doesn’t satisfy the ambitious teacher—progress and improvement does”
