Character Education Resources

I am currently taking a class titled Strategies for English Language Learners. I am amassing a list of resources for a presentation that I am giving in class, and I thought that the information that I have may be very beneficial to you all. So, below is my (certainly not exhaustive) list of resources for English learners:
The Internet Teaching English as a Second Language Journal
A web journal with teaching techniques, lessons, and articles. You can sign up to have an email sent to you when the new (monthly) edition is posted online.
Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL)
"CAL is a private, non-profit organization: a group of scholars and educators who use the findings of linguistics and related sciences in identifying and addressing language-related problems. CAL carries out a wide range of activities including research, teacher education, analysis and dissemination of information, design and development of instructional materials, technical assistance, conference planning, program evaluation, and policy analysis."
Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
"TESOL articulates and advances standards for professional preparation, continuing education, and student programs; links groups worldwide to enhance communication among language specialists; produces high-quality programs, services, and products; and promotes advocacy to further the profession."
National Association for Bilingual Educators (NABE)
This was listed in the December/January 2002-3 edition of the Classroom Connect Newsletter. "Promoting educational excellence and equity through bilingual education, the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) is the only national organization exclusively concerned with the education of language-minority students in American schools."
The English Learner's Web Guide
Many, many links to resources for English learners.
ESL Lounge
"Free ESL lesson materials and ESL lesson plans. Printable worksheets for ESL classroom teaching. English grammar, pronunciation, board games, esl books, flashcards, board games, song lyrics and more"
ESL Magazine
"ESL Magazine is the bi-monthly, color, print magazine serving English language educators and other professionals. Drawing from decades of diverse ESL/EFL experience, top educators and other professionals keep our readers informed of the latest news, trends, methods, products and services that matter to ESL/EFL professionals. Each issue contains relevant and timely feature and department articles relating to the K-12, college and adult levels."
Sincerely,

This homepage was created to give new math teachers ideas and suggestions to help with their teaching. Teaching is an on-going learning experience. You will be challenged to use many approaches and methodologies. In fact, it will seem that every year something new is expected of you to try. You must keep a balance between teaching skills and concepts and problem solving. Some students will have trouble problem solving or even working well in groups if they have very poor math skills or if they haven't grasped basic concepts. You will hear arguments about this from all sides. Children learn Mathematics in different ways and by different methods.

Exploratorium: Science Snacks by Subject
So what's a Science Snack?
Since the museum opened in 1969, teachers from the San Francisco Bay Area have brought their classes on field trips to the Exploratorium.
When we began putting this book together, we decided to do just the opposite: We wanted to take the exhibits to the kids.
For three years, nearly one hundred teachers worked with staff members to create scaled-down versions of Exploratorium exhibits. The results were dozens of exciting "Snacks" --- miniature science exhibits that teachers could make using common, inexpensive, easily available materials. By using Snacks in their classrooms, teachers can climb out of the textbooks and join their students in discovering science for themselves.
