Ready To Teach® Lessons
What are EDI Ready To Teach® Lessons?
Welcome to DataWORKS’ extensive READY TO TEACH lesson catalog. It consists of K-12 grade-level, well-crafted Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) lessons.
- Constantly tested in the classroom and continuously revised for maximum effectiveness and efficiency
- Ensure more students learn grade-level standards the first time a lesson is taught
- Promote constant interaction between students and teachers
- Offer higher-order questions throughout every lesson
- Provide clear, teachable learning objectives
- Emphasize Teaching First and frequent Checking for Understanding throughout lesson
- Engage students through pair-shares so every student answers every question
- Help students gain confidence and develop skills through guided practice
- Provide differentiation for ALL students including advanced, English Learners, and special needs
- Highlight pre-selected vocabulary for extensive grade-level vocabulary exposure
- Built in a multimedia (PowerPoint) environment with animation and easy markup by teachers
How Do READY TO TEACH® (EDI) Lessons Align to Standards?
DataWORKS’ interactive, multimedia READY TO TEACH EDI lessons focus on key elements required by state standards, including (but not limited to):
- a well-designed, thoughtful concept and learning objective;
- rigorous grade-level expository text in every lesson;
- understanding and use of academic vocabulary;
- writing to support answers using text-based evidence and academic vocabulary;
- a demand for higher-level thinking through appropriate higher-order questioning in checking-for-understanding; and
- the use of technology to enhance the overall learning experience.
Lessons break state standards into teachable learning objectives, so teachers can model skills and concepts separately as required by most state standards. The lessons guide teachers how to focus on deep conceptual understanding, build academic vocabulary, and use evidentiary arguments in response to grade-level expository text in every lesson.
How Do READY TO TEACH® Lessons Work?
Teachers can download, click, and teach these multimedia lessons. Teachers save time in lesson prep, can easily guide students through concept and skill, and can hold students’ attention with the projected display, as well as with interactive teaching and engagement. Questions in the lessons have answers that animate in with the click of a mouse, and teachers can highlight and markup the text with an online tool.
DataWORKS is constantly developing new READY TO TEACH lessons written expressly for each state standard in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and more.

Can I modify a lesson?
Educeri lessons are property of DW Educational Research Inc., therefore they cannot be modified.
When are more lessons coming?
New lessons are added as they are completed by our team of curriculum specialists. We average three new lessons per week.
Will you be adding more science and history lessons?
Educeri lessons are typically written for English language arts and mathematics only. If we have a paid contract to write science and history lessons, we will do so. However, the demand is typically for English and mathematics only, therefore that is what we most often create.
I requested a lesson, but I haven’t received it yet. When will I get it?
New lessons are written for paying clients first. In between paid clients, we try to write all other newly requested lessons that we don’t yet have in our catalog. All lesson requests are evaluated by our team of curriculum specialists. The most frequently-requested lessons are placed in the front of the queue. If you would like to fund the development of a lesson that you urgently need, please contact our client relations team to discuss payment: info@dataworks-ed.com.
Are lessons aligned to Common Core?
Many of our lessons were written expressly for federal Common Core State Standards (CCSS). We also have many lessons that were originally written for California, Tennessee, Texas, Australia, and other state and national standards.
As a standards-based research company, we have reviewed, analyzed, and compared the standards for many states and countries, so we can confidently say that our lessons fulfill the requirements of standards from around the world. We are currently working on a cross-reference map that will specifically notate each lesson and what standard it represents in each state and country.
