Favorite Sites
Sites that I check daily or weekly, that I consistently
find helpful, and that I often recommend to friends
Teachers.net
The site is loaded with lesson ideas, articles, and archives
going back to 2000. Most importantly, the
chatboards give teachers the
opportunity to share ideas and practices. These boards helped nurse me through
my first years as a teacher.
Manager
Tools
The best guidance on management and leadership
available anywhere. Private sector, public sector,
or nonprofit sector matters little: what we do is all about
people ... and more communication is better.
NJ.com
The hub for all news related to New Jersey.
New Jersey Professional Education Port
Excellent resources linked to New Jersey's system of standards
and assessment.
Education
World
Articles and instructional materials culled from all over the
web. A great starting place for lesson ideas.

schooling, and life; that have taught me or inspired me; and that I reread over
