Alternative & Special Education

Walch Education provides innovative materials to educators in alternative programs. Whether you are a charter school, a home school, a vocational program, or a resource for adult or remedial education, our materials make sense for your students.

Among some favorites from our Alternative & Special Education titles:

• Our best selling Power Basics series offers core curriculum with student friendly texts, low reading levels and a soft cover format. You can also get Power Basics in a reproducible kit. Power Basics is perfect for the adult student who wants to get his/her high school degree or needs an extra high school credit to continue schooling. It's also a great resource for transient students or English Language Learners. And because Power Basics offer teacher's guides, workbooks, test packs and practice packs, it's a durable, thorough resource for an entire course of study.
• What's Next is perfect for a life skills or consumer math curriculum. Students learn about key aspects of adulthood: finishing high school, living on one's own, getting married, and having a family.
• The 6-book series Steps to Independent Living has been completely revised for 2008. Students learn how to use money wisely, look out for themselves, stay healthy, get well when they're sick, set up a home, and take care of a home.
• Income Tax Made Easy also has been completely revised, with all new 2007 forms and information! Students prepare for real life with this practical guide to income tax returns, including step-by-step directions through 45 sequenced activities. The separate Teacher's Guide has notes, background information, answers, discussion questions, and more.
