Lesson Plans
Heartland AEA 11 Lesson Plan Database
"Lesson plans, “ we want more lessons plans!" That's what we hear over and over in our work with teachers. So here you go. The teachers in Iowa have been hard at work writing over 500 new lessons for you to look at and download easy as can be. Just click on this link and it will take you to this fabulous web resource page that will inspire new writing lessons focused on the traits for years to come. Thank you Heartland Area Education Agency 11, this is really great stuff: It shows, once again, that the traits belong to everyone and it is only with this "all hands on deck" attitude that the work moves forward so well.
