Educator Guide Book

Each Class Pack includes an Educator Guide. Each lesson is broken down into four main components:

Exploration: All learners, especially young learners, benefit from being able to freely explore something new. Through the process, learners develop questions, find answers, and begin to generate new ideas.
Skills building: Skills Building highlights the skills used during this particular activity. These skills are developed and reinforced through focused practice.
Challenge: Learners apply their skills and ideas to successfully complete a challenge to demonstrate their level of learning during the activity.
Extended challenge: An extended challenge is provided when there is a chance for students to demonstrate additional understanding and skills development.
