1. TeachThought: We Grow Teachers
Teach Thought is a great website with a collection of articles about the trends and best practices in the field of education. The site helps connect educators and homeschooling parents to various resources, ideas, models, and curriculum to best meet the needs of your students. There are some great blog articles and professional development pertaining to all aspects of education; regular classroom, virtual learning, and homeschooling.
You can find this great website here: www.teachthought.com.
2. Reading Rockets
I am a strong believer in literature-based instruction and student-centered learning. Literature-based instruction is the type of instruction that involves using original narratives and expository works at the center of content learning experiences to support the development of literacy. Reading Rockets is an excellent resource for educators, parents, counselors, and administrators. The site provides resources for teaching reading, assisting struggling readers, book ideas, and using literature across content areas.
Reading Rockets also has excellent guides, tips, recommended books, etc. to support educators and parents. There is a wealth of information here for anyone involved in teaching children to utilize in their teaching practices.
