Why teachers use these
Why Colorado teachers use these
A great many Colorado buildings run a four-day week, which means five days of standards have to fit into four longer blocks and a Friday nobody pays you to plan on. Add Graduation Guidelines, ICAP time, and, in smaller districts, three preps across two subjects, and prep periods vanish. Buying a complete unit puts the differentiated practice, the deck and the answer keys in your hands so the block time belongs to the students.

Differentiation and evidence outcomes
In a ninety-minute block the quickest students finish early, so the upper tier exists to keep them thinking rather than tutoring their neighbors. The written tasks give you something concrete to hold against the evidence outcomes for a standard, which is far more useful at conferences than a participation grade or one unit test score.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Do these match the Colorado Academic Standards?
They are independent resources. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Colorado Department of Education. Each unit is written to the concepts and skills the standards describe, so the content lines up with grade level expectations and evidence outcomes you already teach. Check the preview against your district's scope and sequence.
We are on a four-day week. Are these long enough?
Most units contain several lessons plus extension work, so one download usually fills two or three of the longer blocks a four-day calendar creates. The lesson plan gives timings you can stretch, and the upper tiers give real work to students who finish the core task with twenty minutes still on the clock.
Can these support ICAP or postsecondary readiness time?
The business, finance and career readiness units are the closest fit, covering budgeting, workplace communication and career exploration in a format an advisory period can use. They are not an ICAP platform and do not replace your district's plan, but they fill the instructional time around it.
Are these usable in a concurrent enrollment or elective section?
The high school art history, business and ethics units are written at a level that holds up in an elective or an introductory college-credit section. Preview the sample pages first, since the right fit depends on the syllabus your partner institution approved rather than on grade level alone.
