Each Studies Weekly Online publication has Teacher Resources to support educators utilizing our materials and tailor classes to meet student needs. Teacher Resources can include a Scope and Sequence, Standards Correlation, lesson plans, vocabulary lists, printables, and additional resources. Available resources can vary from one publication to another. This article covers how to locate the Teacher Resources button and navigate the resources within.
The Teacher Edition is a PDF document that can be found in the Table of Contents and at the week level within the Teacher Resources.
Teachers can access helpful resources from the Teacher Resources button in the Table of Contents, or from within an article.
From your Studies Weekly Online account, click the publication you wish to open in the desired Classroom Card or click View All Publications.
Once a publication has been selected click the Teacher Resources button.
This blue button will be removed in May 2025. Alternative access options are provided below.
The Teacher Resources will open in a new browser tab. From there, teachers can click to view different information and quick links at the Publication, Unit, Week, and Article or Activity level. They can even print what is on screen for each section.
On an Article or Activity page, teachers can access the Teacher Resources by clicking the Teacher Resources button next to the Teacher Actions dropdown.
Teachers could also access the Teacher Edition PDF for the week (if applicable).*
Teacher Resources are available at the Publication, Unit, Week, and Article level in the Table of Contents. Teachers can open to resources specific to a desired week rather than the entire publication.
After opening a publication, find the Teacher button for your desired level.
After choosing a unit, week, or article select Teacher Resources. The link will open in a new browser tab.
Once a publication has been selected click the Teacher Resources button.
The Teacher Resources page is broken down into 4 levels. Publication, Unit, Week, and Article or Activity level. Click on a level to view the resources available for each.
You may also search for specific resources with the provided Search Bar and dropdown boxes for Standards and Section. Each level can have additional supplemental resources available and will vary from publication to publication. (Your assigned state under Account Settings must match the state of the publication to view the standards.) *Occasionally, a level within a publication will not have resources.
At the publication level, teachers may see the Scope and Sequence and/or the Standards Correlation. Click the blue link for Publication Resources below the publication title or scroll down to view and print the report(s).
The chosen option will open in a new browser tab. For best print quality, make sure to check the boxes for Headers and Footers as well as Background graphics in your printer settings.
The Standards Correlation and Scope and Sequence are available when the user's state matches the state indicated in the publication.
