Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 5/26/2023

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Unique to the IDM is the blueprint, a one-page representation of the questions, tasks, and sources that define a curricular inquiry.” (L:T; SA:A)
