Off-Site Teacher Links

On-Line Literature Library

This site features the full text of many classic pieces of literature.

The Educators Network

This site offers lessons, units, news, links, rubrics, and much more for teachers.

National Board Certification

In case you haven't heard, you can now get a national teaching certificate which is good for 10 years. A number of states and districts are offering huge incentives ($) for teachers who achieve this certificate and become a "Master" teacher.

Making a WebQuest

This is San Diego State University's free site on helping educators become familiar with the WebQuest lesson format. There are also WebQuest matrices (see "Top," "Middling," and "New") with links to WebQuests already made by other teachers.
