April 30, 2008 Dear Britannica Online Subscriber, Britannica is pleased to announce new teacher resources and an improved curriculum standards feature, making it even easier to see how Britannica supports your school’s curriculum. Please share this information with educators who are looking for resources aligned to your state’s standards. In Britannica Online School Edition you can enter a Grade Level, Subject Area, and State from a single, easy-to-use search screen that returns an easy-to-follow listing of those standards. Click the materials correlated to this standard link to see related instructional materials. |

Instructional materials are provided in two tabs. The “Britannica Online School Edition” tab includes encyclopedia articles and Britannica learning materials correlated to the chosen standard. The “Achievement Tools” tab includes additional standards-based lesson plans and assessments from a collection of over 16,000 additional resources developed by educators. |

This enhancement is included at no additional charge for Britannica Online School Edition subscribers, making it even easier for educators to find standards-based instructional materials.
