There are a lot of great FREE resources available from the U.S. Dept. of Education’s Ed Pubs Website - http://edpubs.ed.gov. It is not easy to get large quantities (like for a whole school staff, etc.) but you can get smaller quantities easily. I’ve ordered materials for my high school principal, for teachers (especially ‘teacher cadet’ teachers, ESL teachers, and Exceptional Children teachers), etc. There are tons of materials for elementary school leaders.

The site has just been redesigned and is very easy to use with lots of sort choices:

I rec’d an email explaining the redesign: “The U.S. Department of Education’s ED Pubs (Education Publications) web site has undergone an extensive redesign. The web site combines bold colors, strong lines and a greater amount of “white space” to give it an eye-catching, modern look.”

“New features include:

  1. News—this section highlights one or two “newsworthy” items, such as information about new pub releases…
  2. Featured Items—this section highlights 3-6 publications…Featured items will be updated every 1-2 weeks.
  3. Hot Topics—this section lists items in response to current events, key ED initiatives, and other timely information. By clicking on a hot topic the system will run a search and find all publications that relate to the topic.
  4. Find Publications By—the links to audience, education level, language, publication type, and subject allow you to quickly find publications related to the groupings…
  5. Students/Parents/Teachers/Administrators—these menu items listed near the top of the page allow you to quickly find publications that are intended for you…you can further refine your group by education level (e.g., elementary, middle, high, college/university, etc.) and subject (e.g., English, math, science, and social studies).
  6. Español—this section links to publications that are written in Spanish and a Spanish version of the FAQs.
  7. Breadcrumbs
  8. Zoom—this allows you to quickly view a larger publication cover image.
  9. Quantity—the ability to add the desired number of copies from any page.
