Our Learning Team of expert teachers has written everything you need to teach new subject assignments effectively - and the materials work with any text (where necessary) that you choose.

These teacher-authors are dedicated to helping educators get their students to "the teaching point" where learning begins.

We serve thousands of schools in over 75 countries and all 50 U.S. states, how can we serve you?

Are you facing these challenges?

A need to improve student achievement
Teacher hiring and retention concerns
New teaching assignments in your classroom, school or district for veteran or out-of-field teachers? (See Video)
An influx of new teachers from various educational backgrounds, who need the rich resources of veteran teachers to ensure quality instruction and content coverage?
Second-career teachers with significant content knowledge, who are new to teaching?
Teachers with too many classroom preps?

These circumstances are a fact of life in most school districts. They can have a negative impact on student performance when inadequate pacing means required content is not covered. Teachers with insufficient content background or too many preps may struggle in class, reducing their motivation and making classroom management more difficult.

PRACTICAL, ACCESSIBLE COMPLETE COURSE MATERIALS

Expert Systems for Teachers course materials are comprehensive support systems for out-of-field, new and overworked teachers. Each set of subject-specific instructional support materials includes:

Syllabus and Daily pacing guide in an easy-to-use format
Daily lesson plans with content summaries to prepare teachers to teach the day’s lesson
Point-of-use teaching strategies and classroom management tips for each lesson
Class notes coordinated to the daily lesson plan in either overhead or editable PowerPoint versions
Student activity book or lab manual with activities, labs, journaling and reference materials
Teacher’s Manual with answers to all labs and activities
Comprehensive, editable assessments including end-of-unit tests and end-of-course exams.

DESIGNED FOR TEACHER & STUDENT SUCCESS

Who can we help better prepare?

Teachers with unavoidable out-of-field teaching assignments feel more confident and cover required course content more completely. Daily lesson plans with detailed summaries support teacher competency. Easy-to-use pacing guides ensure full coverage of required state and/or national content standards.

New teachers may easily incorporate the teacher-tested labs, activities, projects and assessments into their daily instruction. Class notes in PowerPoint or as overhead masters are ready on the first day of class.

Second-career teachers are guided by specific teaching strategies and classroom management tips in daily lesson plans. Comprehensive assessment systems ensure effective monitoring of student progress.

Veteran teachers with new assignments find their classroom prep time reduced with the easy-to-use pacing guide, standard alignments, lesson plans, assessments, class notes and student lab or activity book.

SUPPORT OF STANDARDS
Each course content has been designed to work well with state standards (including California, Texas, Florida, and New York among others) as well as applicable education association standards (NCTM, NCTE, NCSS, NSTA, AP and IB). In addition, each course content supports the goals of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) Assessment System and Common Core State Standards (CCSS), as well as international measures such as TIMSS – Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and PISA – Programme for International Student Assessment.

Sites for Teachers

“Better teachers are more likely to result in higher achievement” So said Bill Gates while speaking at the National Conference of State Legislatures (Philadelphia, July 22, 2009).

We agree, and it is much less costly to help better prepare a teacher than recruit more. Let us help you save substantially on recruitment, development and retention of teachers while leading to improved student achievement, graduation rates, college and workforce readiness.
