Hello Friends,

Hope you enjoy the websites we are sharing this month.

Websites of Interest
The teachers/grad students in class have been researching websites. We have organized them into the following themes: Diversity and Democracy; Students and Standards; History and Herstory; Reflection and Reform; and Justice and Gender. In what follows, we are sharing a selection of some of the links from each category.

Diversity and Democracy:

Students and Standards:

History and Herstory:

Reflection and Reform:
http://www.JoanWink.com/itt/reflection.php
Justice and Gender:

The truth is that the teachers/grad students are putting together many more sites arranged in these 5 categories. I will probably share more in the future, when we get them all organized.

I think that the following two websites will be useful for teachers. Education World, http://www.education-world.com
The Teacher's Guide, http://www.theteachersguide.com
