General Resources Framing

A broad collection of educational resources including books, articles, websites, videos, curriculum materials, and more! Use this section to browse through resources to get new ideas. If you have a specific topic or question in mind please use the pages focused by topic and concept in the left side menu.

Searching for Relay Library Books

You can search for materials by their title, author, or keyword. You can narrow your search to books or ebooks by selecting "Book/eBook" on the left sidebar on the search page, and then selecting "Library Catalog" (for physical books) or "Full Text Online" (for ebooks). 

When looking for books, try narrowing down your results by searching more than one keyword - for example, if you're trying to find research about using math puzzles to boost student engagement in the classroom, searching "(math puzzles) AND (engagement)" will give you more specific results than just searching "math puzzles". 

Use the search box below to search for materials in the Relay library catalog! 

Practitioner Journals

Practitioner journals differ from research journals in that they feature articles written primarily by professionals in a given field (in this case, teachers!). These articles often feature real-life experiences or observations, and are geared towards offering advice, establishing best practices, and noting trends within the field. Articles may still be scholarly, but they are not always necessarily reporting original research.
