USING THE BENCHMARKSPG. 6


There is no right or wrong way to use the curriculum in your classroom. The curriculum CD ROM tries to provide you with as many resources as possible to help you weave a site or building into your classroom in many different ways. We trust that teachers will experiment and expand upon the resources and ideas found here.


The materials on the CD ROM have been designed as an aid to help you and your fellow teachers, to work together to create lessons that incorporate the Benchmark. These are lessons taught using a preservation-based methodology to facilitate your ability to cover all the standard material in the academic curriculum, while increasing the students' frame of reference in which to place this knowledge. To do this we include many suggestions and resources that can be use to build lesson plans with your colleagues.
