“This Resume Unit is a fantastic resource for my special education study skills class. It’s clear and easy to follow, with both print and Google versions that meet diverse learning needs. The unit helps students build important career readiness skills in a supportive, step-by-step way.” - Yvonne F.
With the Digital Version, you will receive Google Slides FULL version workbook AND individual Google Docs versions (if your students have accommodations to type) to post on Google Classroom. This will save you HOURS and DAYS, and will be something you use for years to come! Some ideas for printing: saddle stitched at a local print shop, coil bound, or stapled packets for independent study!
