Hello, and thank you for your interest in contributing to the creation of the Intermediate level of the English
Forward Curriculum!
Overview
English Forward is looking to the community to help us create the Intermediate level of the English Forward
Curriculum. We have a great community of effective, highly-qualified trainers and instructors and we want to
give you the opportunity to contribute to the community by creating a lesson! As incentives, for every lesson
you write that is accepted by the English Forward team, you will receive a $20 Amazon gift card. If you choose
to work with the English Forward team to revise and finalize the lesson, you will receive another Amazon gift card
for $50 once the lesson is complete and satisfies all requirements. You will also be listed as the author on the first
page of the final version of the lesson. To get started, read the English Forward Lesson Plan Submission Guidelines.
If you’re interested in creating a lesson, email Justin DeBrosse at jdebrosse@willread.org letting him know what topics you’re interested in creating lessons for. Justin will reply with some options, along with any notes or other resources that we have that may help you with your lesson creation.
Available Unit Topics:
- Health
- Jobs/Workforce
- School
- Finances
- Everyday Living
- Your Community
