Now that you have your state standards and curriculum units in a sequential order you can start your daily lesson plans for each unit.  You will design the specific activities to get students to understand and apply what they have learned. Because you will have a diverse body of students with different academic and personal experiences this collection of lesson plans will help you differentiate your delivery.

“Teaching is the highest form of understanding.” Aristotle
