Prevention Tips and Tools to help create peace of mind for you and the kids in your

Purplemath
Purplemath's algebra lessons are written with the student in mind. These lessons emphasize the practicalities rather than the technicalities, demonstrating dependable techniques, warning of likely "trick" questions, and pointing out common mistakes. The lessons are cross-referenced to help you find related material, and a "search" box is on every page to help you find what you're looking for.

First Things First, a framework for school reform, has one goal: to help students at all academic levels gain the skills to succeed in post-secondary education and good jobs. In the process, FTF helps districts and schools meet the requirements of No Child Left Behind.

• Improving engagement, alignment and rigor of teaching and learning in every classroom, every day.
• Allocating all resources - budget, staff, time and space - to achieve the first two goals.
Our partners achieve these changes using three strategies:
• Small learning communities.
• The Family Advocate System.
• Instructional improvement.

When will textbook publishers get a clue? (ZDNet)
Have you bought any textbooks recently?

Good call.

The Bamboo Project Blog: Professional Development Practice: The One Sentence Journal
Regular readers know that I'm a big fan of reflective practice--one of the greatest values of blogging for me has been that it's created a forum for me to regularly think about what I do and how I do it.
