Plans by Tonya Skinner

This link offers information and

web pages for high school
business education teachers. I
would use it to gather ideas and
resources for several units and
sample lesson plan ideas.
This link has sample lesson
plans as well as content
information for Alabama Career
Tech Teachers. I use this
constantly for sample lesson
plans as well as finding
additional ways to teach
content.
Great for units in personal
finance. Resource has several
articles and news publications
on what other teacher are
doing. Also, there are
downloadable resources that
can be reproduced and used in
the classroom.
I have used this website since
the beginning of my teaching
career. Great sample lesson
plans and additional resources

for real world and project based

learning.
Great resource on ways to
incorporate technology into the
classroom and lessons.

Great for cross curriculum

projects. I mainly use it for
career exploration units.
Good for cross curriculum
projects with mathematics. I
would use it for personal
finance units as well as
entrepreneurship lessons
Great resource to add
technology into the
classroom. I would use it to
help generate ideas on how I
could use it to filter into my
classroom.
This caught my eye because
every year I like to do a unit
on African American
inventors for Black History
Month and there are several
lesson plans on inventions
and technology on this site.
Great resources not just for
lesson plans and units but it
is also helpful for tips on
effective classroom
