    Lesson planning<\/h2>\n
    \n

    We use Education.com every morning during our writing period. I sometimes print out an activity to use either for practice or [as] an exit ticket. I often show a video or assign an interactive activity as part of a station or independent time.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Teresa M.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    As a teacher, having access to comprehensive lesson plans can be a game changer. Education.com offers well-structured lesson plans that save me time and effort, and I can easily adapt them to suit the needs of my students.<\/p>\n

    Differentiated Instruction<\/h2>\n
    \n

    I teach special education and work with students in multiple grade levels with different abilities. Education.com allows me to meet each student\u2019s needs by finding appropriate resources for their current academic goals.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 April M.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    I use some of the activities pages as early finishers. In my intervention hour, I\u2019ll pull worksheets for my students to work on building their math skills. With my higher achieving students, I\u2019ll pull 6th grade worksheets to challenge them.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Kaleigh T.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Growth monitoring<\/h2>\n
    \n

    I use the digital assignments for progress monitoring. It has made the progress monitoring of my students so much easier!<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Beth W.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    I use the reading worksheets as cold reads which allows me to collect data on my students who have reading comprehension goals as part of their IEPs.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Lori B.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Brain breaks<\/h2>\n
    \n

    I use the math games or brain break activities to give my students a recharge.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Kaleigh T.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    I use the games and time fillers the most. They\u2019re fun and educational!<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Darrin G.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Sub plans<\/h2>\n
    \n

    I use Education.com for last-minute lessons or substitute plans.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Courtney M.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    When I have to take any substitute classes, worksheets on Education.com are saviors for me.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Jaclyn G.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    It\u2019s a \u201cone stop shop\u201d for all my students\u2019 needs. The variety of worksheets and grade levels allow you to zone in on a particular area of weakness for a student.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Cultural and historical resources<\/h2>\n
    \n

    \u2013 Victoria S.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n
