Resources

In the course of my work, I run across lots of useful resources on the web.  You can find ones I find interesting or useful at my Pinterest account: http://www.pinterest.com/ldrtchr/ or on the Teaching Leadership Facebook page at facebook.com/teachingleadership.  I'm constantly updating them, so check from time to time for new items.  Perennial favorites are listed below.

  • The Innovation Center for Community and Youth Development has produced two new tool kits to help organizations involve young people as leaders and conduct successful evaluations of community-change work. The tool kits, Reflect and Improve: A Tool Kit for Engaging Youth and Adults as Partners in Program Evaluation and Learning and Leading: A Tool Kit for Youth Development and Civic Activism, build on the Innovation Center's experience working with local groups to involve youth, build community, and strengthen organizations. For ordering information, contact the center at www.theinnovationcenter.org
  • Character Counts! is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian character education framework based on the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness,  respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.  www.charactercounts.org
  • What Kids Can Do (WKCD) documents the value of young people working with teachers and other adults on projects that combine powerful learning with public purpose. WKCD works to connect the fields of school reform, youth development, community development, service learning, and school-to-work.  www.whatkidscando.org
