The purpose of the learning community is to provide information to classroom teachers related to staff development, evaluation, research, learning, collaboration skills, equity, and family involvement. Provided a listing of publications and bookstore items, links to an ethics section, evaluation tools, diversity, ethics, and staff development are provided.
The site is user friendly and information on learning communities, job postings, learning communities, and model staff development programs are available.
Even though a wealth of information is provided, a mission statement and goals of the site would be helpful to the reader.

LD Online
http://www.ldonline.org/
The purpose of the LD-Online learning community is to provide and disseminate information related to learning disabilities. LD-Online is a great website for parents, teachers, ancillary personnel, and individuals with disabilities. The information is current. There are articles written by experts in the field. The site provides links to homework tips, teaching tips, and transition information.
The site is user friendly and offers definitions (learning disabilities, ADHD, twice exceptional), evaluations, accommodations, and guides to writing Individual Education Plans (IEPs). There are links to newsletters, Special Education law, and video clips featuring teachers and students with disabilities. The only thing that I would change is to be able to listen to Rick Lavoie and Larry Silver all day long.
