Research-inspired Classroom Resources

The materials posted on our resource pages were created by teachers and groups of teachers working on one of the many NWRPDP-sponsored projects and professional development projects.

Each year, the Northwest Regional Professional Development Program hosts a variety of workshops that ask participants to create new classroom materials inspired by the research being discussed in each class.

The resources posted from these classes are provided to inspire learning teams who are interested in the topics we've explored in past projects.

Each resource posted here contains original citations. When Xeroxing materials from this collection of resources, please leave all original citations intact.
