Here are some of my favorite education sites. This page has sites relating to general teaching categories.  There are also specific links on each page of teach-and-learn.org. Let me know if there's a great site I've overlooked. Also, please let me know if any of these links have broken. Happy Surfing!

 

Curricula

 

If your school district has given you a list of objectives that they’re trying to pass off as the “curriculum”, don’t despair. There's some help out there. Here's what curriculum is really supposed to be:
curriculum (plural curricula): A plan of instruction that details what students are to know, how they are to learn it, what the teacher's role is, and the context in which learning and teaching will take place.
This definition is from http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/misc/glossary.htm. Fortunately, some places have posted curricula online. This can really help those of us who teach in mandate-without-curriculum situations.

A Few More...

PBS TeacherSource
This is truly teacher-friendly TV. I've also used their online professional development.
Performance Assessment- Chicago Public Schools This is a great training site on performance assessment.  (Did anybody say rubric?)  Speaking of rubrics... You can go to http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php to print or create one.
The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
This is a great site for teachers seeking to improve their practice and for education leaders. Of course, every teacher is a leader, but you know what I mean. Some content is members only, but you can find lots of good stuff for free.
