About Learning, Inc., creators of the 4MAT System instructional model, have created lessonbank.com, a source of field-tested unit plans for classroom teachers. Rather than simply offering strategies for discussion, lessonbank.com offers complete step-by-step instruction in teaching a unit from start to finish.

 

The program is built on solid, teachable concepts, making lessons easy for students to grasp. Each unit plan employs a variety of activities to engage students in learning, and diversifies the instructional process. Lessons are geared to capture students’ attention, encourage meaningful dialogue, promote real-world problem solving and stimulate new ideas and beliefs. Unit plans cost a small fee and come with student handouts, a complete bibliography and detailed instructional guidance. About Learning, Inc., Wauconda, IL, (800) 822-4628, www.aboutlearning.com.
