Innov8: Teacher Resources

Teacher Appreciation Week is almost here, and we’ve got a couple of exciting things coming down the pipeline to celebrate–keep your eyes peeled, as next week we’ll be releasing details about a teacher sweepstakes!

Of course, we here at Getting Smart always appreciate teachers (consider this a virtual polished apple if you will, teachers). Since we know that one thing teachers appreciate is a tool that makes their lives easier, this week’s top eight news stories highlight new teacher resources that can help them save time or improve their practice.
