Elaborated boxes, as you will see, are fully sequenced, include non-digital as well as digital resources, and have detailed teacher notes. Standard eBookboxes are not sequenced, they contain only digital resources, and they only have brief teacher notes.
The front end of every eBookbox contains key ideas, learning goals and focus questions, a summary of the learning that is needed before beginning the box, as well as the learning students will be able to move on to after completing the box. The relevant elements of the VELS standard are also provided. Also included are details of the common misunderstandings and suggested teaching strategies and activities.Work to support and improve teachers pedagogical knowledge by bringing together and integrating research based support material for teachers.
