love this website!!! students always complain that they can't understand why they need to learn algebra because they want to be a rapper, singer, fashion designer, etc. This website give teachers are great lesson plan that includes video and other visuals to show students how algebra is needed in most careers
I found the lesson plans tab and the professional development sections to be the most useful for teachers like myself. I would need to do a bit more investigating to decide if the student centered search engine is useful for elementary students.

A very valuable resource! My favorite part of this site is that you may access not only all of the standards but also accompanying lessons ideas for those standards.
Great resource for teaching information literacy. The resources are searchable by type (lesson plan or teaching idea) and grade level. Lessons and projects are relevant and interesting.

Each lesson is introduced with a children's book that demonstrates a specific component. The website it organized by the components of writing and has so much information! However, be aware that this site can look overwhelming because there is a lot of information available.
