toward transformative practices || [] || We mustn't forget to check out the professional development offerings made available throughout the year by this wonderful organization. || ITSCO is incredibly forward-thinking and supports progressive education. Their classes and the content contained therein push educators to move beyond traditional instructional methodologies. || [|Click here to visit the site] || The Common Core is coming; we must always be looking ahead at what is to come. || The Common Core has been adopted by an astonishing forty-five states out of fifty, including Ohio; like it or not, it is "what's next" in education. The only way to stay current is to embrace these standards as they will surely drive our future teaching. ||

Educators, administrators, students, parents, business and civic leaders and policymakers are now collaborating to re-vamp historical school designs and traditional classroom learning environments, re-tool academic content standards and assessment tools. ||

 * Melissa Sanders/NHS || WatchKnowLearn.org || Fascinated by the number of videos and clips relating to "real-life" mathematics. || Provides teachers with another avenue for introducing PBL. ||
 * Chris Haren/NHS || [] || Great resource for math lessons/ideas/discussion || This site has a teacher's algebra and geometry lessons posted. He also has a great section called "What Can You Do With This" in which he creates a lesson out of a picture or a short 30 second video clip. Lots of great ideas. ||
 * Chris Haren/NHS || [] || Neat project idea || This site lets you create a fake facebook page for anyone. I think it would be a great idea for a project. Students could create a page about a mathematician, a shape, an element, a word, a character, anything. ||
