U.S. Department of Education Doing What Works Website
The U.S. Department of Education has launched a new website to provide teachers, administrators, and other educators with recommendations on effective teaching practices and examples of possible ways to implement those practices to help promote excellence in American education and improve student achievement. The new Doing What Works site offers a user-friendly interface to quickly locate teaching practices that have been found effective by the department's research arm, the Institute of Education Sciences, and similar organizations. In addition, it cites examples of possible ways, although not necessarily the only ways, this research may be used to help students reach their academic potential. Content on the site is organized into three areas: Learning what works-understanding the research base behind the practices. Seeing how it works-accessing examples of schools and classrooms engaged in those practices, including engaging videos. And, Doing what works-enabling users to access examples of tools and templates to implement the practices.

Challenger Center for Space Science Education
Challenger Center for Space Science Education was founded in 1986 by the families of the astronauts of the space shuttle Challenger 51-L mission. Challenger Learning Center programs at 50 centers throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom continue the mission of building awareness of the importance of exploration and discovery. Challenger Learning Centers are often partnered with science centers, museums, universities, and schools. The interactive mission simulator is the core of a Learning Center. All Challenger Learning Centers offer mission simulations for students using a combination of five mission scenarios that are provided by Challenger Center. Individual Learning Centers can also supplement school programs based on community need. The network of Centers train more than 25,000 teachers annually to incorporate project-based learning and use the theme of space exploration to engage students in critical thinking, decision-making, communication, and teamwork. http://www.challenger.org/programs/multimedia.cfm - multimedia link to pod- vod- and web-casts
