Teach
CBSS
Do you
wish that there were a set of pre-made lesson plans that you could merely
open, print, copy and give to your students??? Your wish is granted!!
"CBSS
in 15 Easy Lessons" was created so that kids really do get to learn
and use CBSS. We recognized that teachers often don't have the
time or skill to figure it all out on their own. The lessons were developed
with high school students with learning disabilities, and have been
used by various regular and special ed. classes at the upper elementary,
middle and high school level. They're fun and they work!!
Read the
Introduction to "CBSS in 15 Easy Lessons" to find a good way
to manage the lessons (copying each to two sides of color-coded cardstock).
The files are accessible here in "pdf" form -- which means
that when you click on the link, Acrobat Reader will automatically open
and allow you to read the document. From there you can download or print
the document (see icons in upper left corner), etc. If you don't have
Reader on your computer click HERE
to get it.
