Identifying Materials & Resources

image-M&RMaterials & Resources provides users with a way to locate standards-aligned content through a targeted search.  Users can search using the QuickSearch tool, where a keyword is entered, or the Search tool, entering a keyword, grade level, and subject area. 

Identifying Materials & Resources:

Additional resources are added to the portal on an ongoing basis.  Just like when performing a search on the Internet, it is necessary to try multiple keywords.  Searches for terms like ‘Native Americans’ may yield different results than a search for ‘American Indians’.

All of the resources included on the SAS portal are vetted, and have been quality reviewed by a minimum of three educators.  Links to websites outside of SAS were checked as part of the Quality Review process.  However, since these sites are not under the control of the Pennsylvania Department of Education we cannot be responsible for their content.  Users may encounter advertising or other content, which is why caution signs appear in the search results next to these resources.

All links are checked on a regular basis. If you do come across a link that is broken you can click Contact Us in the footer menu on any page to report the error.


To the left of each title is an icon that indicates the type of content, and a key at the top of the search results.
