Teaching and Curricula Resources
SPCLC member organizations have put together a variety of curricular resources that are available to all SPCLC members. Feel free to use these resources in your program and for developing your own curriculum.
  • A curriculum overview developed by a SPCLC curriculum committee and currently used by Hubbs Outreach Centers.  This overview lists Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Grammar skills for various content areas at 4 levels.
  • A computer curriculum developed by SPCLC teachers. This curriculum includes lesson modules ranging from basic computer vocabulary to MS, Excel and Powerpoint step-by-step lessons.
  • Functional Work English resources - Lists of speakers, field trips, and related resources which have proven useful in Functional Work English classes, which others may also find helpful.
  • Work Readiness Preparation & Certification resources - A list of credentials learners can pursue and resources to help them prepare for the tests.
  • A handy chart comparing BEST and CASAS scores with NRS and SPL educational levels. Remember that BEST is no longer an "allowable" test for state funding purposes.
  • A variety of online activities developed by Minnesota ABE teachers. These activities are targeted at lower-level ESL learners and range from filling out forms, health literacy topics, listening activities, and much more.
  • A "lesson swap" for teachers in the SPCLC Teacher Network.
