Creating a curriculum for one day..?

We Answered:

Wow your on a roll....

I can't do it for you. Start by looking at the Florida State Standards, pick what you'd like to teach and the related standard. Then proceed with your lesson plan with goals, objectives, etc.

I was in your position just a couple of years ago, you have to do your own work and lesson plans because that is what will best equip you for teaching. If you don't learn how to do it now how will you succeed as a good teacher in a real classroom?

Good luck

Publishing your own textbook or curriculum?

We Answered:

Are you talking about getting your book published, or just publishing a text for you to use in your own classroom?

Those are definitely two completely different monsters.

So, if you were to print, say, 20 copies of a book you threw together for a class use, that is a pretty easy operation and you only really need to take a few things into consideration. Namely, cost (if you were covering it), and copyright infringement. If you were making a book full of non-copyrighted works, like Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, etc, you don't even have to worry about that. Basically, my suggestion for you is to go to www.lulu.com and follow their instructions for throwing your book together, order the amount of copies you are interested in, and you are all set. Easy.

Getting it published for use outside of your classroom and to sell is a much larger project and a much more difficult one to accomplish. Many publishers put a great deal of time and money into these projects, so it is no surprise that it is a very difficult procedure. Basically, you would need to apply for the position of associate editor when they advertise that they are printing a new book, which is a lengthly process, not to mention that you are going to be up against people that have a great deal more qualifications than you regardless of how qualified you actually are.

One more option would be to find a publisher of educational materials, and just submit a proposal. It is possible at times that they can market what is intentionally an educational textbook as something completely different. To do this, I would suggest going to the library and getting a copy of The Writer's Market off the shelf and reading up on how to do this and who to send your proposals and queries to.

Good luck - I hope this helps!
