So you’ve clicked “Get Started,” set up your TeacherVision account, and found a great resource for your class. Now what?

TeacherVision provides a variety of resources in PDF format: Teaching Resources, Activities, Graphic Organizers, Lesson Plans, Worksheets, Book Guides, References, and Workbooks. All of these resources are PDFs and feature the “Preview” and “Download” button next to a thumbnail picture of the resource. They also include an "Add to Favorites" button that will allow you to save a resource in your MyTeacherVision account.

Some of the resources on TeacherVision are long-form descriptions of lessons, activities, professional development content, teaching strategies, and posts from the “Morning Announcements” blog. These feature a “Print” and “Add to Favorites” button.
