Within Spirit Box Academy, there are 3 units, 5 modules within each unit, and a growing lesson library around each module. Under each module there are lesson plans, activities, PowerPoints, worksheets, case studies, and blog posts. Within the module there are level 1 (introduction to the concepts) and level 2 (advanced students who are applying what they have learned to their Spirit Box or School Based Enterprise) lessons.
