FAQ

Here are some commonly asked questions about Beyond Textbooks:

Question:
Vail School District uses Macintosh, do you have resources for Windows?

Answer:

While many of our resources are originally create on Macs, we provide the files in PC format as well. As much as possible we try to use file types that can be opened by Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Question:
Does Beyond Textbooks give me access to subscription based web services (i.e. United Streaming™, BrainPOP™, BrainPOP  jr.™, etc…)?

Answer:

Beyond Textbooks provides relevant, congruent, objective-based links to those resources, but it is a school district’s responsibility to make those resources available to its teachers. United Streaming™ is currently offered through AZ IDEAL and BrainPOP™ can be purchased at a group rate based on the total number of Beyond Textbook subscribers.

Question:
Does my district have to follow the suggested curriculum calendars and “essential standards”?

Answer:

The curriculum calendar and “essential standards” are the result of thousands of teacher hours. We believe they are critical to our success with Beyond Textbooks.

That being said, we can adjust the web calendars to fit your desired scope and sequence. This will require an extra fee based upon the actual hours it takes to make the changes.
