Grade 3 Asynchronous Curriculum
An Interactive Learning Experience designed for independent students, supportive parents, and reviewing teachers.
Project Overview
This project reimagines a set of Grade 3 language lessons as a complete, self-paced online curriculum. Every module is built so a third grader can learn on their own screen, a parent can coach without a teaching background, and an educator can review evidence of learning at a glance.
Target Grade
Grade 3 (ages 8–9), with built-in supports that flex up to Grade 4 and down to Grade 2.
Learning Model
Asynchronous online learning — students move at their own pace, any time, on any device.
Curriculum Purpose
To make foundational ELA skills engaging and masterable without a live teacher in the room.
Skills Demonstrated
What this portfolio piece is meant to show.
Curriculum Design
A coherent scope and sequence with clear outcomes and pacing.
Standards Alignment
Every objective mapped to Common Core ELA standards.
Digital Learning Design
Screen-first lessons built for independent navigation.
Interactive Lesson Development
Quizzes, drag-and-drop, flashcards, and games in plain HTML/CSS/JS.

Delivery Modes
In School or Virtually — With or Without a Teacher
Built for instructional continuity during teacher shortages. This curriculum is asynchronous-first, and works equally in a classroom or live online.
In School
A teacher, substitute, or supervising adult runs the lesson — or students work independently at their devices. No subject expert required.
Synchronous (Virtual)
Delivered live online: the class watches the lesson video together and completes activities in real time.
Asynchronous (No Teacher Needed)
Fully self-paced — the design's core strength. Videos teach, activities give instant feedback, and progress saves on the device.
Why this matters
Teacher shortages shouldn't stop learning. Because the videos carry instruction and activities self-correct, a student can complete every module with or without a teacher in the room.
