Throughout the course you will focus on your chosen discipline/subject: finding topic-specific resources, identifying the characteristics of various resource types, working through resources (just as students would), incorporating resources into individual lesson plans, and building a comprehensive unit plan.
The course gives you the opportunity for in-depth exploration of instructional resources, provides models for effective resource integration, and encourages you to devote time to focused lesson and unit planning. The estimated time-on-task is 22 hours (2.2 CEUs).You must successfully complete CurriculumPathways ECP before you begin this course.
