Comprehensive Teacher Resources

Teachers should have rich resources for teaching digital courses, just like the resources that are available with traditional, print-based textbooks. StrongMind courses* include a Teacher Resource Guide (TRG) with robust tools that support a blend of both personalized, self-paced learning and synchronous learning in a variety of learning models.

 

  • General Course Resources — includes detailed overview(s), course objectives, materials lists, vocabulary, pacing guides, graphic organizer library, and more
  • Course Activity-Specific Resources — includes activity specific lesson plans and grading/scoring guidelines for teacher-directed and offline independent activities that align with every digital activity in the course
  • Project-Based Learning — designed for students to think critically, applying skills and concepts to real-world problems and demonstrating understanding of complex course content not adequately measured through traditional assessments
*Available for math, ELA, social studies, and science courses grades 6-12. Other StrongMind courses include all the necessary teacher supports for supporting students online but do not include the resources for synchronous instruction.
