All Lesson plans are meant as suggestions for teacher use. Using them ensures that the material intended for the class will be covered in an age-appropriate way and consistent with the school's values and beliefs. Some reasons for using modified or different lesson plans might be:


 * Tailor to the particular students in the class
 * Found better way to present material
 * Corrected errors in the content
 * Follow up on material from a previous lesson that the students found particularly interesting

Feedback from teachers on the lesson plans is always welcome and provides a way for continuous improvement.
