These activities are thoroughly developed but not quite ready to use - you would not be able to just download and print one to use as is. Please read the following about further development you will have to do. You might want to print this out so you have it beside the downloaded activity as you modify it.
To teach the student a skill, many refer to materials -texts, guides, etc.- that might not be available to you. Substitute whatever texts, guides, etc. you use.

It is not possible to create one of these for every possible job, for every possible skill, for every possible level of complexity. They cover many possibilities, but it is quite likely that you will need to adapt one to meet the specific needs of a particular student. All contain suggestions about ways they could be adapted. That may provide you with guidance, but you may recognize the need to develop an entirely new adaptation. Hopefully, these will provide you with a format and will have 'kick-started' your creative thinking so the process is not too onerous.

They may also need to be adapted to suit a particular setting, your delivery methodology or the skill level of the student.

Identification of LBS Levels might not be consistent with developing provincial standards. Please review them, and adjust expectations according to the level of the student with whom you will use it.

Evaluation guidelines are general. You will need to develop specific criteria and a more detailed process through discussion with the student. Please check the "Assessment Builder" in this site for help in developing an evaluation process.

All of these are a 'teacher' version. They contain information, details, answer sheets, etc. that are not necessary or even appropriate to give to a student. Availability in this format means you can download and edit them.

While these have been proof-read, it is possible there are still typos or errors in calculation of answers, etc.

Finally, a number of practitioners who have used these have recommended they be re-formatted with more white space for readability. As well, a number of them have several instructions for the student, and it might be helpful to separate them, possibly only giving one instruction at a time.
