Teacher Help — Instructional Resources
ScholarForge
ScholarForge helps teachers share classroom-ready resources and collaborate on units that work.
Built by educators. Designed for classrooms, homeschoolers, and lifelong learners—anywhere.
Instructional Resources
A shared collection of links, articles, videos, and teaching tools that teachers actually use.
What is the Resources area?
This is a teacher-to-teacher resource board. It’s for things you would send to a colleague:
a great article, a strong video, a useful classroom tool, a printable, or an instructional idea worth saving.
Think “shared bookmarks + teacher notes,” organized in one place.
🔍 Finding Resources
Start broad, then narrow down.
- Search keywords (topic, unit, skill, standard, or title)
- Filter by subject / grade if available
- Open and skim before saving or using in class
Tip: use short, specific search terms first (e.g., “federalism”, “primary sources”, “CER writing”).
➕ Posting a Resource
Posting is simple: link + short explanation. Your note is what makes it valuable.
- Paste the link (article, video, tool, doc, etc.)
- Add a title that makes sense to other teachers
- Write 1–3 sentences: what it is + how you’d use it
- Add tags/subject if the form includes them
The best posts answer: “Why should a teacher click this?”
What makes a “good” resource post?
You don’t need a long write-up. Just enough context so another teacher can use it immediately.
- Clear use case: “I used this as a hook” or “great for stations”
- Time estimate: “5-minute intro video” or “one class period activity”
- Grade fit: “works great for 9–10” or “AP-level reading”
- Notes/pitfalls: “skip the first 30 seconds” or “print double-sided”
Resources vs Lesson Library vs Unit Planner
- Instructional Resources = links/tools/ideas you’d share with a colleague
- Lesson Library = classroom-ready lessons (downloadable lesson packages)
- Unit Planner = your planning workspace (build units over time, collaborate)
Common questions
- Is this only for official curriculum links? No—any useful, classroom-appropriate resource is welcome.
- Can I post a YouTube video? Yes, as long as it’s classroom-appropriate.
- Should I post a whole lesson here? Usually no—put full lesson files in the Lesson Library.
- What if a link is broken? Report it or post an updated link if you have one.
