*Catherine Brown has worked with Cartwright for several years as a consultant. Her main focus is on the instruction of English Language Learners - but the information that she provides really transcends the ELD classroom and is applicable in all learning environments. Her website Accelerating Minds is simply one of the best resources for teachers that I've come across. It is so full of helpful information that although I have worked to explore it for over a year - I suspect I've just scratched the surface. "Multicultural Education, Visuals and Manipulative's, Using the Internet for Learning" are some of the topics on which she's collected valuable links and resources.
*I would be remiss if I didn't mention All Things PLC. If you are engaging in collective inquiry within your department this site is a great resource that not only provides an understanding of the "nuts and bolts" of PLC but it speaks to collaborative efforts and selecting research based tools. Some of the better parts of this website are the blogs maintained by Rick DuFour and the supporting documents that can be used in collaborative efforts (sample agendas, SMART goal forms etc.)
