Global from Macmillan Education | FREE Lesson Plans, Teaching Tips and More

A few days ago I was taking an order from one of our teacher friends, and in the conversation she mentioned this website she is using as an ESL curriculum resource.   She raved about the quality and diversity of the the content, saying that while a lot of free lesson plans were just basic these were the real deal.  This site looks like it launched in January 2010, and there are only 15 free e-lesson plans online so far, but it comes from a main stream publisher so there is quality .   The site is set up to support a new line of language arts curriculum materials that are for sale from Macmillan.  We don’t sell them yet, but if you are interested please let us know.
