Young Reader’s Editions provide an incredible opportunity to teach students new ideas in developmentally appropriate ways. However, designing a unit is no small feat. Teachers rarely have time to innovate their lessons, let alone an entire unit of study…until now! This course in the Beyond the Book Series allows you to design an instructional unit for Braiding Sweetgrass. Identify key themes and quotes and explore multimedia resources to build background and content-area knowledge. Then, using best practices in Backwards Design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), develop a variety of learning activities and a final project to create a dynamic, engaging unit!  By the end of this course, you will have a complete unit of study, and feel energized, confident, and ready to teach Braiding Sweetgrass.

This course format builds from module to module in a way that allows you to work through each of the essential ideas in smaller, more focused segments. You’ll find the same great resources and applicable assignments, distributed over 10 modules.
