DEAL is a curriculum/professional development site.

Importantly, DEAL is a collaborative site where educators are able to work together planning and sharing ideas, materials and concerns. Experts to help with topics will be available.

You may make suggestions about experts and materials accessible on the website.

You can utilize material from each learning event topic, as a separate class project or, in conjunction with other educators, using the FrontPage communication tools.

Additionally, you can use the material to develop lessons that are different but related to the main theme in some way. The primary purpose for the material is to assist in planning and collaboration.

Keep in mind that the support materials and tools for learning events on the website are to assist you in planning. Use these items as you choose, to create lessons for your classes, and collaborate with others when you join the DEAL Pilot.

A full series of learning events related to the thematic topic, American Immigration, will be developed as part of the DEAL project. You may view a project overviewslide presentation, [PDF].
