Designing multi-level lesson plans for individualized instruction

Use a spreadsheet with a Level field (Beginner Average Advanced or 1, 2, 3) and set up an autofilter for students. This will display / hide information as the student progresses.
  • sample
    cdc (choose list view to filter)
    cdc LIST VIEW (filter is on)
    Web Page View (does not filter)
  • Note: the default level is 2, use level 1 if the student is falling behind.
  • Level 1 should list required pages.
  • Level 2 should list pages and exercises to be skipped.
  • Level 3 is the whole manual but contains notes pertaining to pages skipped in level 2.
The Subtotal/grouping function in excel would reveal required levels
Creating a Pivot table might group the information in an interesting way.
Alternatively use a tree structure to show/hide 3 versions of the outline (sounds like more work for the teacher). (I don't know know to do it)

The key is organizing the outline/lesson plan so one cell contains the activities for one block of 3 hours at one level. Level 2 and 3 material should appear in a second row (ewe...).

Help! I'm loosing my structure.
