Grant I - Lesson Plans

Each teacher who attends a weekend module or a summer institute is required to complete a lesson plan related to some aspect of the topic discussed at the module or institute.

While these documents are in the public domain and may be used freely, we would appreciate your acknowledging the teacher, project, and funding source when you use or cite these.
