Library plan slide deck from Mukwonago Area School District. This is a working document.

Think of the program like a College of Business, just in a high school. The program requires 6 classes: Principles of Business, Business Economics, Principles of Marketing, Principles of Finance, Principles of Management, and Business Strategies. There are also 2 option classes: Wealth Management and Leadership. All classes are project-based and offer real-world hands-on experience for students. Ideally students take the classes in order, but that can be challenging. We do allow students to take classes out of order based on their interest level.

I love the program and it has challenged my teaching. Students take a lot more ownership and control of their learning in these classes as it is taught differently than traditional classes. It increases community engagement with our program as well.

We have 4 of the 6 classes transcripted with our local technical college and the Business Economics class can count as the Social Studies Economic graduation requirement.

This is a guide breaking down the curriculum into six critical areas including the critical understandings, common core state standards, and essential concepts within each critical area.

This resource can be used for introducing the concepts involved in formatting a Word document.  It illustrates and explains how to manipulate margins, paragraph indents and line spacing.

This lesson is the first of a two-part series on the properties and uses of different materials.In Materials 1: Materials and Manufacturing, the familiar tale of The Three Little Pigs is used as an introduction to materials and manufacturing. Students examine the properties, limitations, and durability of a variety of materials, then evaluate which of the materials would be best for building a model house. If used in its entirety, this lesson could take several science class times.In Materials 2: Recycled Materials, students are introduced to the idea that some materials can be recycled.

This is a Math Learning Progressions Activity.  Teachers aligned the final grade-level assessments found in Eureka Math with grade-level math standards.  Additional activites include using this document to highlight (in color) the locally identified essential standards to generate analyzes and conversation.  Teachers can also identify all the grade-level assessments aligned to each standard in Eureka Math and add them to the assessment rows.

Teachinghistory.org (National History Education Clearinghouse) offers resources to teachers in multiple ways.  Three sections outline teaching materials, history content, and best practices in teaching history.  There are links for elementary, middle, and high school teachers, with everything from complete lesson plans to general outlines of historical events and skills.  You can also access research on the state of history education in the country, as well as a blog and the teachinghistory.org community.  

This document outlines what teachers are expected to be implementing for Reading Workshop in phases over the course of three years.  This way we have a focus each year to roll out Units of Study for Reading with success while not overwhelming teachers.

This resource provides an overview of how the Northland College Educator Preparation Program will systematically integrate Environmental Sustainability across our program in order to prepare education students to more intentionally incorporate the Wisconsin Environmental Literacy and Sustainability (ELS) standards into their teaching practice.

This interactive online tool will quiz your students on naming/identifying notes.  It is customizable so you can use treble, bass, grand, alto, or tenor clefs.  Great for practice and reinforcing knowledge.

This teaching guide from the OER Project outlines their courses, PD, and other resources.

The OER Project is a coalition of educators and historians committed to boosting student engagement and achievement through transformational social studies programs. By empowering classroom teachers with better curricula, content, and a vibrant community, we deliver more compelling, impactful, and usable histories. “OER” stands for open educational resources. When you grab a free worksheet off Pinterest for your tenth graders, that’s an OER resource. We recognize the value of OER resources, but want to go beyond the typical content repository approach—we aim to improve OER by providing coherency, support, and community.

Currently, the OER Project offers two courses—Big History Project (BHP) and World History Project (WHP)—both of which are completely free, online, and adaptable to different standards and classroom needs. Unlike textbooks, lesson websites, and other commercial products, everything has been purposely built to truly empower teachers and leave traditional history courses in—sorry for the pun—the past. We also offer short, standalone courses for those who want to try the OER Project approach, but aren’t yet ready to take on a full history course. Our current standalone options include Project X, a course that uses data to explore historical trends to help make predictions about the future; Project Score, a course that uses writing tools and the use of Score, a free, online essay-scoring service to help support student writing; and Climate Project, an evidence-based overview of the global carbon problem that culminates in students developing a plan of action they can implement locally

Physics Classroom is intended for beginning physics/physical science students of all ages and their teachers. It offers a tutorial, interactives, concept builders, Shockwave studios, multimedia studios, and much more. This free web-site contains lessons, interactives, simulations, photo galleries, laboratory exercises, and the option to purchase additional assessment materials/ and for educators.

In this project, students will design and construct a roller coaster. The materials used in this activity can be found materials (pipe insulation, paper tube, wood dowels, etc. for little or no cost.
For a small fee, Paper Templates for a Paper Roller Coaster can be purchased from paperrollercoasters.com. This kit includes one set of detailed directions with over ninety color photographs, and eleven templates suitable for photocopying. Each set of paper templates may be used for one home or classroom only. You supply card stock, marbles, tape, and a piece of cardboard.
Once constructed the coasters are constructed, students will analyze the physics of motion of a roller coaster car and its occupants in terms of concepts such as speed, acceleration, Newton’s Laws, net forces, normal forces, friction forces, and energy (KE, PE, TME); this description should be both mathematical and conceptual.  

The Play Make Learn Conference is a place for collaboration and discovery in the design, research and practice of playful learning, games for learning and positive social impact, making and makerspaces, STEAM education, and arts in education. PML creates an inspirational space for preK-12 educators, designers, developers, innovators, librarians, museum professionals, makers, and researchers to tinker together, share knowledge, and celebrate one another’s work.

This resource allows students to build conceptual relationships between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures by means of nets. Students cut different nets and identify and describe the corresponding figures. Students realize and understand why surface areas are measured in square units, and volume is measured in cubic units.
