Curriculum Materials
As part of the Gen Y class license, the Gen Y teacher receives curriculum
materials designed to help manage and run the class. The materials
have been carefully designed to reflect the best practices and experience
gained from running Gen Y classes over the years.
These curriculum materials are designed to work with the online
project and reporting tools to form a complete support system for
the Gen Y teacher and class.
