Each Friday the Instructional Materials Center Team will provide answers to questions asked by educators throughout the week in the IMC FAQ Friday post. We hope these are helpful as schools place orders for students who need accessible educational materials.
The second semester is fast approaching! If you need to order accessible educational materials for your student, please do so as soon as possible.
Teachers move through course materials at varying paces and often jump around rather than going in chapter order. Please check with the teacher before submitting your order to gather the information needed for the pacing guide. To ensure timely production of materials in the correct order, we require a detailed pacing guide to be entered in Athena. This must include print page ranges, chapter name or number, and the dates the material will be used in class.
Below is an example of a completed pacing guide in Athena.
