Teacher here. Good teaching materials are incredibly valuable.
One would think that some big company like Pearson would have cornered the market on teaching materials. Turns out, most teaching materials out there are just complete garbage.
Most materials made by a company are easy multiple choice and fill in the blank worksheets rather than engaging activities.
Most materials made by teachers are better, but usually have some kind of glaring flaw (like just too short or not modified for students with accommodations) because a teacher created it out of desperation with little time available and never went back to fix it up.
- rb808 9y agoI always thought this would be great area to have open source teaching materials. So many teachers are writing their own materials, would be great to coordinate and combine.
