Resources and Information for Pre-K through 12

Through our work with school districts we receive a variety of questions about research-related concerns from school district administrators, teachers and parents. Those questions and concerns are important to us and although we cannot respond to each one individually we are pleased that we can offer our Resources and Information section on topics that are important to school district faculty and parents. Each topic contains links to relevant full-text documents as well as a sample search of the ERIC database provided by the Early Childhood and Parenting Collaborative/Information Technology Group. We hope you find the resources provided helpful and please don't hesitate to contact the Office of School University Research Relations if you have suggestions for other R&I for Pre-K-12 topics.

• Alternative Schools and Accelerated Programs
• School Attendance, the Impact of Behavior on Grades, and School Failure
• Gifted Education
• Peer Mediation and Character Education

Education Newsletters and E-Letters

Although most of us are trying to minimize the spam or unnecessary e-mail that comes to our accounts there are some free "E-Letters" that provide useful highlights for educators and parents interested in education issues. We've provided more information about several worthy options along with their subscription information that we hope you will find helpful.
