This site was a research project by Daryn Cambridge while he was in the International Training and Education Program at American University. It's a great Peace Education Resource
The "Reading Guides" section has many suggestions for various peace education theorists and resources as well as some links to these sources and even some guides to teaching on these resources.

WOW!! That is powerful!! And based on other information I have read, it is mostly accurate. I wonder how something like this could be used in classrooms in the district. I wish there was some kind of an action statement or suggestions at the end....not for the 25% who have a home, bed, refrigerator and closet for but for that other 75% that does not. Hmmmmm, much to think about.
This article is hilarious and should ABSOLUTELY be used in US Government to point out WHY students should learn the Constitution.
Oh. Onion. How dear you are to my heart!
So this isn't article doesn't have a practical application, but it is very heart warming and inspiring. It's about an 81 year old guidance counselor in northern Virginia who has actually dedicated her life to serving her students. She continually works to build upon her skills and hone her craft and really seems to be the exemplar of what an educator should be.
The New Deal Network is a site that I am using in preparing my curricular unit. The site has an archive with documents such as the Fire Side Chats with President F. Roosevelt, photographs, and audio tapes. I like this site because it really takes you to that place in time so that you can see and hear what was going on in the culture as well as in the government. The site also has lesson plans and resource links for educators.
Alan, that is so funny I just posted and noticed that you too had posted this site. It's great, don't you think?
I am actually using a Fire Side Chat from FDR for one of my socratic seminars in my curricular unit. There is also a lesson plan about arts and the depression that I am going to adapt for the unit.
This website would be a valuable resource for teaching students about human rights. Students could use the country reports to research human rights conditions in a country of their choice.
This site could be used in conjunction with a unit on Human Rights perhaps using the Model UN organization's Global Classroom curriculum on Human Rights. Students could use this website as a resource to research human rights conditions in different countries around the world.
This site gives human rights reports listed by country and year. It is an excellent resource for information on human rights conditions throughout the world.
Great general resource for teachers who are looking for options to enhance their geography classes. Online resources at reliable government websites to help augment lessons and skills.
I would use this site as a resource for my students to do research for themselves. I would also use some of the sites as alternate assignments for students.
This site is an awesome resource for social studies teachers looking for internet resources to give their kids. It is both credible and provides general enough resources that allow them to use it for all lessons.
