Familiarize
yourself with the design and content of A STUDY OF HEROES.
Freely explore what is contained in the two-binder resource
collection. You will discover:
1. Twenty-Two Hero Profile Units;
2. Eight Companion Units; and
3. An Instructor’s Guide
Open several of the units and peruse the basic format and
rich variety of activities offered in each. All pages are
unbound and are copyrighted for reproduction within the purchasing
building. This important design feature was suggested by teachers
in our pilot schools. As in all schools, time was a most important
commodity. To accommodate teachers’ busy schedules,
HEROES instructional materials were designed to be both easy-to-use
and virtual time-savers.
We suggest that you place the two-binder set in a central
location where they can be easily accessed by members of the
faculty and staff. Faculty lounges, libraries, as well as
administrative and departmental offices have proven to be
prime sites.
Even the packaging of HEROES is simple and user-friendly.
The two loose-leaf binders offer separate sleeves for each
unit. We suggest that instructors ‘sign out’ units
and make duplicate copies for their own reference and use.
They, then, return the original master copy of the unit to
the binder for the next person to use. This system will keep
the master set intact.
The flexible design of HEROES welcomes and incorporates new
ideas from anyone who has used the materials. Add your own
creative suggestions and activities to any unit by simply
writing your ideas on a separate piece of paper and inserting
the page at the end of the relevant unit. That way, the next
person to use the HEROES unit will benefit from your experience
and creativity.
