- In the Find Resources" section, there are many books and documents that support the different curriculums.

CURRICULUM CRATES: EDMONTON CATHOLIC SCHOOL DIVISION
Imagine having an example lesson with all the "ingredients" included: outcomes, instruction, student demonstration of learning, assessments, resources and templates. Similar to the meals plans such as Hello Fresh and Chef's Plate, these lessons are easy to prepare, yet still allow educators to "spice it up" with ingredients from their own pedagogical pantry!
The FLRC has created this spreadsheet that links the lessons from the curriculum crates to the resources the FLRC already has on its shelves and the new ones that will soon be available. - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1whaAAsuw1g-LEORHhO88JMW7xtsimCelRk49KAyesJc/edit?usp=sharing
