How to Access
LNS Resources
LNS resources can be used in a variety
of ways ...
“The materials are structured so that you
can tap into sections and clarify points for
discussion at learning team meetings.”
“The videos show teachers and students
in interaction – a great opportunity to see
the key features of effective instruction
in action at the classroom level.”
“I reformat LNS materials to create
hands-on teacher workbooks that staff can
take away for further reference.”
