The SLM Methodology significantly upgrades quantitative modeling capability in High School Science.  This upgrade is thanks to the ease of programming and the calculating power of spreadsheets.  Now skills practiced on spreadsheets in school will help students prepare for their future careers.  

We know that enhanced modeling capability on spreadsheets can also make quantitative learning interactive and highly engaging giving real meaning and relevance to all of the underlying mathematics.

Joining the SLM resource network gives teachers everything they need to master educating their students with spreadsheet modeling as quickly and easily as possible and the applications that can be pursued by somebody with mastery in spreadsheet applications are limitless.   

How?  Each lesson is classroom ready and tested in real practice.  We save teachers time by delivering: (1) Lesson Plans, (2) NGSS Standards Alignment, (3) An introductory slide show to start each module, (4) A word document handout that guides students and offers assessment (5) The completed spreadsheet model that students will program, (6) A time-saving template that has column headings labeled but no formulas programmed, 
We supply all teachers at licensed schools with teaching resources and updates.

Advantages for Licensed Schools 

• We stand by our product 100% and if we find a way to improve it or add to it we want every one of our client schools to have it.
• Class time is valuable and so it prep time because we are teachers.
• Latest developments (New Modules, Project Applications, Shared Best Practices) are added and updates sent in the monthly SLM STEM Newsletter.
• Email Support for any/all teachers in SLM schools.
•  We have kept our existing work current, most recently with NGSS aligned lesson plans so teachers save time and standards compliance is assured with subsequent updates to national standards requirements.
• Member teachers will have innovation opportunities as there is an infinite number of applications of spreadsheets.  

Spreadsheet Lab Manual (SLM) lesson resources were developed and refined using student testing, teacher feedback and student data based improvements.  Assessments were then added to optimize the instructional time and enrich the modeling experience for students.​

By joining our network you will be able to design and run your own PD sessions and teachers will gain proficiency and see the many possible applications and adaptations that this package will inspire in teachers.  When a school's starting point is the complete works of The Spreadsheet Lab Manual.
