Overview
Janie Haugen-McLane developed the Survival
Signs Curriculum to
give teachers a step-by-step way to help students learn the meaning of
80 indoor and outdoor signs found in the community, at home, and in the
workplace.
The curriculum instruction method gives detailed explanations of both
the visuals and the words on each sign. A perfect teaching tool for the
inclusive classroom, the guide includes discussion activities and charts
for the teacher to record the various places in the community where each
sign is located. Students who are nonreaders or who have limited reading
skills can rely on visuals on the survival signs to determine each
sign's meaning. The overall purpose of the program is to prepare
students of all abilities to follow the directions on common community
survival signs to travel safely in their community.
Curriculum Binder
A sturdy three-ring binder contains a two-page teaching guide for each
of the 40 outdoor and 40 indoor survival signs. The guide also includes
discussion activities and a reproducible Community Trip Record Chart for
the teacher to record the various places in the community where each
sign is located. This curriculum can be used in conjunction with any of
the Survival Signs programs
giving instructors an assessment tool, teaching methods and materials,
and reinforcement practice.
