Here are a few websites that are some of my "go to's" whether I need something quick or if I have a few minutes to peruse at my leisure.  (That part just made me laugh!)  Seriously, these are full of information that teachers from beginning to experienced can use.  I read Edutopia a lot- NERD ALERT!  I like all the suggestions, data based research, and the strategies.  Did I mention strategies???  

Literacy is my thing.  I love anything to do with literacy!  Reading and even writing!  I want kids to LOVE reading.  I want them to get lost in books, like I did before everything went electronic.  So now, in my class, I make sure to utilize electronics and let the kiddos read on it.  They are still reading but not holding a book (I'm tricky that way...:)

That being said, I know Jennifer Jones, the great and wonderful.  She is the Literacy and progress monitoring mastah!  She challenges students, meets them where they are at and pulls them along--everything I wanted to know and learned about progress monitoring came from her.  (Shameless unsolicited plug for Jennifer Jones- Hello Literacy!  Her Teachers Pay Teachers store= money well spent!)  

If you get a minute, have a cup of tea, wine, beverage of your choice and look around these sights.  I am pretty sure you will find something you can use and 100% sure you will learn something new!
