[LTER-education] Websites that house curriculum for teachers to discover?

[Caitlin Potter]

I initially replied just to Alex with some of this, but given Kara's
enthusiasm I am happy to share more widely :)

The suggestion I've gotten is to check with your state Science Teachers
Association - ours here in MN has a place where this type of curricula can
be uploaded! Our state DOE sends around a monthly newsletter to the science
education community (including both classroom teachers and informal
educators who ask to be included) with updates, announcements, etc that
remind folks to check out the Resources page.
https://www.mnsta.org/cgi/page.cgi/MnSTA_RemoteResources.html

I haven't gotten my act together to put any of our new digital stuff up on
the MnSTA page yet, so like KBS we are just hosting in a table on our own
website: https://www.cedarcreek.umn.edu/ed/resources. I have been sending
the link around to teachers and regularly sharing about new materials on
our facebook page. It seems like the facebook postings especially drive
folks to our materials.

Best,
Caitlin
