You should not have to build the new curriculum units from a blank page

The new Alberta Social Studies curriculum brings a lot of planning decisions:

  • What should I teach first?
  • How do I organize the year?
  • Which outcomes belong together?
  • What resources should I use?
  • How do I build lessons that are engaging and assessable?
  • How do I adapt everything for the students in front of me?

And... So many of the teacher resources you buy are almost helpful.

  • The activity is useful, but there are no slides.
  • The slides look good, but there is no assessment.
  • The assessment is included, but it does not clearly connect to the learning.
  • The vocabulary is important, but there are no visuals.
  • The lesson idea is strong, but now you still have to build the whole sequence.

This unit was created to give you the full pathway.

  • Not just a folder of activities.
  • Not just a slideshow.
  • Not just a worksheet pack.

A complete teaching resource designed to help you move from planning to teaching with more confidence and less overwhelm.

The TTM Difference

Ready-to-teach does not have to mean

one-size-fits-all

The complete unit gives you the as-is version — ready to open, prep, and teach.

But your students are not generic.

  • Some students need more vocabulary support.
  • Some need a simplified reading level.
  • Some need language translation support.
  • Some need extra scaffolding.
  • Some are ready for more challenge.
  • Some classes need a slower pace or a different entry point.

That is where Teacher Time Machine helps.

With TTM, you can start with the complete unit and then customize resources for your actual classroom. Adapt lessons, assessments, activities, vocabulary supports, and student-facing materials without starting over.

Teach today. Customize forever.
