Frequently Asked Questions

How do our units address the literacy crisis?

To get better at reading, a student must read. As a focus of our units, reading is structured so that students are doing the heavy lifting. Our students become better readers through regular practice with purpose.

How much preparation is required?

Very little. Preparation includes printing student handouts, reviewing the daily lesson plan, and previewing the slides for successful delivery of each lesson.

Is this a scripted program?

No. While the lesson plans are detailed and the slides contain language that facilitates and propels the instructional sequence, the teacher has the ability to make adjustments and lend their expertise to the content delivery.

Do I have to use the strategies provided in the unit?

The units rely on research-based strategies and you are welcome to introduce your own favorites as they fit the learning purpose.

How will this approach support English Language Learners and Students with Disabilities?

Effective ELL and Special Education support relies on a sound instructional foundation. Our units bring clarity to students in the form of scaffolding and visuals to support their learning, with daily checks for understanding and multiple processing opportunities.

What sets us apart?

TeacherUnits by EdProDesign offers instruction where standards dictate what we teach and the outcome drives how we teach. 

  • A rigorous outcome and exemplar guide student understanding of academic expectations.
  • All materials and strategies are chosen and placed to maximize practice and learning related to the designated standards, required skills, and outcome.
  • Reading is done with partners to teach comprehension strategies, build fluency and prosody, and allow students to practice with teacher monitoring.
  • Pre-/Post-Assessments and comprehension quizzes gauge student learning and provide data to guide instructional decisions.
  • Our units include printed materials because research shows that readers have better comprehension and retention when reading on paper compared to those reading on screens (Journal of Research in Reading, 2018).
  • Our units are affordable for teachers, departments, and districts, unlike the materials from publishers.

Online instruction-sharing platforms where teachers pay teachers for their creative work can lead to series of disjointed, unfocused tasks. According to cognitive scientist Daniel T. Willingham, "Without some attention, a lesson plan can become a long string of teacher explanations."
