| What teachers have to say:
"Love the pacing! Love the abundance of materials! And I like that there is thinking involved, not
just plug and chug." (Maryland Academic Support Program for Algebra and Data)
"I want you to know that we have bought MANY Walch resources in social studies in our district.
I have all of your document-based, critical-thinking, and/or primary source/persuasive writing books.
I hear it all the time in meetings with our social studies teachers, particularly at the high-school level:
I love Walch!"
"This workbook (Focus on U.S. History) is wonderfully organized, easy on the eyes, and loaded with
pertinent information, making it both left- and right-brain-friendly. Thank you!"
"I love, love, love this book (Daily Skill Builders). It has so much information in it."
"I just wanted to tell you that Media Literacy: Advertising is hands down one of the best books I have ever
bought to use in my classroom. I was really pleased with the activities because they were not only
very relevant, but they were actually interesting and not outdated. One other thing that I wanted
to mention that I liked was that the book was exactly the right size to fit on the copier machine,
which meant that duplicating worksheets was very easy."
"This (Real-Life Math: Geometry) is a fantastic tool for geometry. The lessons are so developmental and easy to use."
"10-Minute Critical-Thinking Activities is an awesome book! It opens the minds of my students and allows
them to think 'outside the box'."
"Differentiated Instruction for Social Studies - love it! Great ideas for activities that target different
areas of Social Studies."
"A book such as this one (Daily Skill-Builders: Reading) is a rare find in the profession of teaching.
In all aspects, it serves as an excellent classroom tool. Thank you for your creativity and innovation of
these exercises. In my classroom as well as those of my colleagues, the skillbuilder book is an invaluable
resource that is already dog-eared from being passed around from teacher to teacher."
"Excellent for filling in gaps in learning and a great review for more advanced students."
(Daily Skill-Builders Grammar & Usage 5-6)
"I love this book (Geography Challenge!) and so do the students. It's easy and fun to use."
"Your books are really clear and beautifully worked out. It makes learning really exciting."
"I teach Special Ed so I need a variety of materials to aid the students in their learning. Your company has it!
I can't wait to start using your products. Thank you!!"
"Excellent resource and review activity! The kids love these activities.' (Earth Science Challenge!)"
"I am extremely pleased with the quality and value of this resource. This will help immensely in my classroom,
and has even been very informative for me as well!" (Media Literacy: Newspapers and Magazines)
"Excellent coverage of the topic! Allows me to easily integrate additional materials."
"I like materials for high school students that are at the 2nd or 3rd grade level - but don't look so childish!"
"Walch materials have been very helpful. Your Daily Warm-Ups are a favorite of mine."
"I truly enjoyed working with the (ASP) materials this summer. I liked the strategies that were
emphasized and so did the kids - that workbook, with the assessments, etc., has a wealth
of knowledge for our kids."
"This (the ASP) will add texture as well as enrichment to the summer school program. It will
be meaningful to the students." |
Walch Education's relationship with educators is part of our essence. Our company's founder, J. Weston Walch, taught in a public school for many years. His children, who now sit on our board, have spent their lives as academics and in publishing.
With more than 80 years of service to the school market, we have benefited from interactions with literally thousands of educators since 1927. Educators have written and edited our materials, have given us invaluable feedback, and have consistently supported our products.
Here's how we can support you:
- Our free Teachable Moments lesson plans are available as downloads on this site. Please use them to initiate or complement your classroom discussions, on topics as varied as vending machine bans, the Seven Wonders of the World, dark energy, or the poetry of Robert Frost.
- Our free e-newsletter gives you advance notice of new Walch publications and events of note.
- Many of our publications have been authored by educators or former educators. If you have a manuscript you'd like us to consider or review, let us know.
- Are there ideas you'd like to pass along about Walch Education, our materials and programs? Let us know.
- And of course we encourage you to look throughout our catalog for Walch Education products that fit your needs. Many of our newer materials target critical thinking skills. Our materials benefit from a variety of instructional strategies, from hands-on learning to differentiated instruction. And we actively address state and national standards and assessment concerns.
