Educators Resource Directory is designed to provide educators,
administrators, and other education professionals with immediate
access to a unique combination of educational resources, along with
important educational statistics and rankings. Educators Resource
Directory includes associations, publications, trade shows,
workshops, and training programs. This resource is designed not
only to help educators advance professionally, but also to give
them the resources they need to help their students, their schools,
and their state meet educational standards. It provides tools for
classroom and career management, as well as resources that truly
make a difference in job, school, and student performance. All
listings in this comprehensive volume are thoughtfully organized in
13 chapters and 76 subchapters, making information significantly
easier to access than the unfocused data available online or the
scattered in dozens of different sources. Statistics and rankings
are designed to help states, school districts, and individual
educators better understand their educational environment and make
informed decisions on careers, curricula, and funding. Educators
Resource Directory includes 6,408 listings in Section One, more
than 140 of which are new. This section includes 7,956 key contact
names, 4,506 fax numbers, 3,718 e-mail addresses, and 5,199 web
sites, and is categorized into 13 helpful chapters for easy
research: Associations & Organizations, Conferences & Trade
Shows, Consultants, Teaching Opportunities Abroad, Financial
Resources, Government Agencies, Professional Development,
Publications, Publishers, Research Centers, School Supplies,
Testing Resources, and Software, Hardware & Internet Resources.
Section Two includes 236 tables and charts in 24 total categories
on national and state statistics. From elementary to post-secondary
levels, these statistics and rankings include data not only on the
American educational system, but also on Canadian and international
education. Using the most current data available, this section
helps to complete the picture for educators making career
development decisions, for school administrators interested in
comparing fiscal health and educational scores, and for anyone
doing educational research. The main categories in this section
include: Educational Attainment, Elementary & Secondary
Education, Federal Programs for Education & Related Activities,
International Comparisons of Education, Libraries & Educational
Technology, Outcomes of Education, Postsecondary Education, and
Canadian Education Statistics. Following the statistics and
rankings is a Glossary with over 100 education terms from
Accountability to Vocational. Section Three contains three indexes
to help the user save as much research time as possible: an Entry
& Publisher Name Index with an alphabetical list of both entry
names and the companies that publish the listed material; a
Geographic Index featuring state-by-state listings of all entries;
and a Subject Index organized by core subjects plus Special
Education, Technology, and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) listings.
