RESOURCES

Now you can tell this is a baby web site since this section is a work-in-progress. From time-to-time we will come across very helpful resources such as books, videos, and programming ideas related to the dimensions of development. Our list right now doesn't amount to much since we are just getting started. But we anticipate it will grow and change. Here's the scoop. We welcome any items on your HOTLIST of resources. Send them to Tim to review for inclusion on the site. We should add that a resource may be recommended even if we don't agree with everything proposed by the authors. It may be that we think it offers an appropriate stimulus for values clarification--a chance to consider, challenge, and change or confirm our current beliefs and behaviors. We're not looking for a huge list. We really want HOTSTUFF!!!

Now, just click on one or more of the spokes of the wheel graphic and see what's available to support your efforts with student development along each dimension, respectively.
