Parallel Alternative Strategies for Students
Parallel Alternative Strategies for Students (PASS) books are unique, supplemental textbooks written to help students with various learning needs achieve success in the classroom. The student books are presented in an easy to understand format for students seeking a standard diploma. The information is written by the Curriculum Improvement Project team in a manner that offers more understanding in less time. The PASS materials provide resources for teaching courses without changing essential content. The teacher guides give exciting teacher suggestions to stimulate student interest with thought-provoking activities. These inexpensive, ready-to-use resources may be reproduced or used as a textbook or a workbook.
A copy of each PASS book is sent to every Florida high school (or middle school when appropriate) and to each Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System (FDLRS) Associate Center. The books may be reproduced for use in the school system or copies may be purchased.
