The Collaboratory for Teacher Education at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education
Resources
We believe that teachers thrive when they are part of a network of support and inquiry.
The Penn GSE Collaboratory is a hub for resources related to teaching and teacher education. On this page, you’ll find a wide range of tools at GSE for our alum and working educators.
Resources for Teachers
There are a wide range of resources developed by Penn GSE to support you as you teach. A few of those resources are listed below:
Community Based Mathematics Project
Since 2009, the Community Based Math Project has encouraged Philadelphia teachers and Penn GSE faculty to create social justice-oriented math curriculum that is also locally relevant. Their website includes pre-K-12 mathematics lessons that are aligned with the Common Core.
The Educator’s Playbook is a newsletter authored by Penn GSE faculty for K-12 practitioners. It offers summaries of research in education and strategies for incorporating these new insights into your practice.
