Collaborative (and more)Teaching Resources
Often, the best place to start your research is with a sight you already trust and have navigated regular and successfully in the past - even if for something different. I couldn't resist adding the left link as a resource providing benefits far beyond just lesson planning. Members benefit from huge discounts on everyday shopping items, appliances, and even auto and life insurance to healthy physical and emotional programs to helpful information from their research on the CCSS and tons more. Our members benifit greatly from the NEA website and all they do to support educators.
The Oregon Education Association is our member driven educators' union. Members from all around the state work together to share resources and knowledge. We also emply trainers to help with Professional Developent we feel will help us do our jobs as educators.
This is a link to articles about technology in education. Though it costs $4.99 to download a set of full length articles, there is free access to Education Week "Spotlight", their newsletter.
Other Educator Resources
Lesson Planning
This link (which I found through the NEA site) is a resource great for lesson planning. I found it through the NEA website; NEA actually worked with master teachers to launch this helpful gem.
Sometimes collaboration is as easy as finding the right Facebook page. The website featured in this page is just one advantage to "Liking" their page. The best part is joining with fellow educators from all around the country to discuss various parts of our lives and work as educators.
The Teaching Channel is a great resource for educaotrs. Navigating their website is quite easy with all of the filtering options they have. Make sure you have plenty of time to browse, however, because there is just so much here. There are videos of good teaching practices, as well as well written lesson plan ideas. There is something here for any teaching style because what you find is produced by our fellow educators.
This is the sight we have most recently started using throughout our district. I did not have to do a whole lot of my own research to find that this is a reliable sight since our district, as well as many others, did a thourough job of that already. These resources are very print-heavy so it is sometimes best to pick and choose.
I found this website through the Oregon Department of Education. This is another website I can trust to lead educators to reliable and useful information that helps us tie our current insruction practices to the new CCSS. Since this site focuses solely on math, almost anywhere you click takes you to something else that is useful. It also has easy to use filters to be sure you are only viewing the specific information you need for what you are teaching.
