As part of my mission as an educator, when I first started this community, I wanted to provide a place where parents, teachers, and students could get easy access to resources that would help with their own goals or the educational goals of their pupils and children. After a lot of thought, I realized that it would be easier to split the resources and dedicate this section to that objective. Feel free to bookmark, since this list will expand and I will update this area often.
