Doing What Works Website...
Here's another resource for your online resource file...
Doing What Works is a website dedicated to helping educators identify and make use of effective teaching practices. Doing What Works relies primarily on the Institute of Education Sciences at the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate and recommend practices that are supported by rigorous research. Then, Doing What Works provides examples of possible ways educators might apply those research findings, but these are not necessarily the only ways to carry out these teaching practices.
The website is fairly new and a lot of the promised information on literacy and early childhood education is not yet available, but I think you will want to keep this site in mind and check back in the future, because I do have high hopes that this will become an excellent resource.
