CA Resource Clearinghouse Outstanding Practices

OUTSTANDING PRACTICES
Do you keep reinventing the wheel? The Outstanding Practices Library is a collection of shared ideas and activities. We invite you to post your own Outstanding Practices. An Outstanding Practice can be a strategy, a curriculum, a lesson plan, an idea, or an event that has worked well for you and provides for participation of all students - please share it with others. We encourage postings from individuals and businesses as well as educators. This component will be as good as the materials submitted for the collection, which means it has great potential.
