Grades 9-12

K-12 ADVANCED LEARNING LABS - Duke TIP recently teamed up with the NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) to create classroom resources ready to use with students. Advanced Learning Labs are aligned to a concept to use during remote instruction with your students. Choose to use each Advanced Learning Lab as an extension, find a concept to accelerate, or enrich a unit you already teach. With each Advanced Learning Lab, students explore logic puzzles, go on field studies, engage in research explorations, participate in mindfulness activities and continue engaging with math and literacy -- all through remote learning.

CommonLit is a free collection of fiction and nonfiction for 3rd-12th grade classrooms. The collection can be searched and filtered by Lexile level, grade, theme, genre, literary device or Common Core Standard. Each reading is able to be downloaded or read online. There are guiding questions and activities. My favorite feature is the recommendations for book pairings.
