Strengths:
The strengths of the Alpha Omega Lifepac curriculum lie in the mastery learning and in the organized, independent lessons in the unit workbook approach. The unit workbook approach is so motivating that students sometimes just pick up their workbook and work ahead without being asked.  The secret is that each workbook is just the right length.  It is long enough for real learning, but short enough for students to have a very

Strengths:
The way I see it, the biggest strengths of using the Alpha Omega Lifepac curriculum for 9th grade Algebra 1 are the unit workbook format and the mastery learning.  It sounds strange to be recommending workbooks for high school students.  A lot of times, the textbook and notebook approach is seen as the only “grownup” way to study.  And for 9th grade Algebra 1,

Strengths:
The strengths of the Alpha Omega Lifepac program for the high school student are that it provides a program package that is very straightforward.  There are just ten little workbooks to complete, and the teacher guide is one simple little book that contains notes as well as complete tests and answer keys.

With such simple, straightforward plans like “Complete one lesson per day and you will finish this workbook in three weeks,” the 

Strengths:
Teaching high school math is not as daunting as it may seem, especially if you can find a good program like Alpha Omega Lifepac.  I really like the unit workbook approach.  It’s very helpful for all ages of students, and seems especially valuable in high school.   At that age, it’s so important for students to be developing a good work ethic and independent learning skills, along with preparing for college.  Alpha Omega Lifepac 11th

Strengths:
For first graders when you are teaching them science, they always have a blast, especially if you make it very hands on.  In Alpha Omega Lifepac, I love the way the curriculum is full of color and lots of cute illustrations.  It is also easy for the teacher to use, since the teacher guide is just one thin book.  There are a few notes that are very helpful on how to use the

Strengths:
There are a lot of advantages to teaching 2nd grade science from Alpha Omega Lifepac.  The design of the curriculum makes things very easy for the teacher.  There are ten workbooks, with daily lessons.  There is a great little teacher’s guide which explains and gives detailed suggestions.  I like the fact that the teacher’s guide is not too long or complicated.

The 2nd grade science students of course love the experiments best, so we would do

Strengths:
The strengths of using the Alpha Omega Lifepac for 3rd grade science would be that it has a great format for motivating a reluctant learner and an awesome list of activities and resources.  The format is so simple and straightforward.  It makes things very easy for the teacher.  Instead of a big textbook divided into chapters or units, there is a separate little workbook for each unit.  Then there is a teacher’s

Strengths:
In 6th grade science, students are in the last year before they begin the rigorous 7^th through 12^th grade study that will prepare them for college.  It’s a great year to give students a chance to develop some self motivation and interest in the subject.  I see Alpha Omega Lifepac as a great way to do this, especially for a student who has been a bit of a reluctant learner in the area of
