Based in New York, the Teachers Network is an alliance of education professionals dedicated to disseminating best-practices throughout the world of public school education. On the homepage, visitors can click through a selection of lesson plans, essays by current teachers on their own experiences, and also read a list of grants available to those working in a number of disciplines, including social studies, language arts, and the sciences. The “How To” area is one that will be most helpful to new teachers, as it provides resources on managing a classroom, working with students’ families, and teaching literacy. The lesson plans area includes a nice search feature which allows users to search by subject and grade level, along with offering them the option to view the most popular teacher-created lesson plans. Some of these favorites include “What Makes a Good Friend?” and “Breads Around the World”. For educators and those with an interest in researching the realm of curriculum and instruction, this website is a real find.
