Organization
The curriculum is divided into three units, which are supported by teacher materials including lesson plans, PowerPoint slides, worksheets in Python and JavaScript, and assessments. Each lesson in the teacher materials aligns with the student curriculum on the sidebar of the EarSketch platform (Chapter 1 aligns with Lesson 1, etc.). You can download our teacher materials by lesson or unit and edit them (if you'd like) as they are Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents.
