Common Core Video Resources

There certainly isn’t a shortage of Common-core related videos and resources and that is the good and the bad news. A simple Google search reveals over 8.5 million possible websites offering everything from paid lesson plans to teachers demonstration videos. In most cases the material is limited in value or meant for a non-teachers. So I put together the better free sites to help narrow that search. If you have another to share just email me by clicking on my name at http://www.reacheverychild.com

This time of year new teachers are graduating from college, experienced teachers are looking for new challenges and opportunities, and other teachers dangle in the wind while their districts decide if they can afford to rehire.

If you are leaving your current location or looking for a job in a new field, check your target state’s department of education site to make sure you qualify. This also goes for those who want to teach in the United States and those looking to teach overseas.

Some of these sites require you to register. There isn’t going to be a cost for that, but some do charge if you find a job. Alan selected the most active sites and those of the most interest to teachers. For more information on salaries and other teacher-related statistics, check our Share your profession feature.
