| Building
a professional library for both mentors and mentees is a major feature
of the NNECN program. By having immediate access to high quality
science and mathematics professional literature and “experts at
your fingertips” whenever you need them, professional books extend
the learning experiences of teachers in the NNECN project. The following
is a list of the common professional publications received by all
mentors and mentees, and the focus area each resource addresses.
In addition, mentors and mentees may select from a limited number
of additional science or mathematics resources specific to their
subject matter area and grade level. A full description and bibliographic
information on each resource is available at the NNECN
Library. |

The centerpiece content resource used in the NNECN project is Curriculum
Topic Study (CTS). CTS is a systemtic approach to using standards
and cognitive research to improve pedagogical content knowledge
and understanding of the important ideas to teach in science and
mathematics. CTS was originally piloted with the NNECN teachers
and is now being developed with NSF-funding from the Teacher Professional
Continuum Program (TPC) as a professional development resource for
science and mathematics teachers and professional developers. The
first book, co-published by Corwin Press and NSTA, will be released
in March 2005. You can read more about it at
