Formative Assessment and Improving Instruction
[|Dylan Wiliam] - This guy is amazing, and totally changed how I view my job as an educator. If you ever have a chance to see him speak, jump on it. The session I went to is under "presentations" on his page, and is titled "[|New models of teacher professional development]" from July, 2008 in Hershey, PA

[|90/90/90 School Research] - Research on 90/90/90 schools (schools that are 90% proficient on state tests while also being 90% minority, and 90% economically disadvantaged) by Douglass Reeves from the Leadership and Learning Center.

Conceptual Mathematics Instruction
[|Steve Leinwand] - Video and Powerpoint Presentation from the National High School Institute's 2008 summer institute.
