The Materials & Resources section of the SAS portal allows users the opportunity to search for standards-based resources for teaching. Using the search tool is as simple as performing a search on the Internet.  You enter a keyword, and then browse through your search results to find resources that are appropriate to your needs. 

These resources come to us from a variety of sources - there are educators just like you from schools across Pennsylvania who chose to publish their best lessons on our site.  We also include content from community, educational,  and cultural organizations across the state and the country.  Each piece of content undergoes an extensive peer review process before it is included on the site.
