Of Interest to Philadelphia Teachers

The Web isn't just a resource for students; it's an opportunity for educators to communicate with peers across the country, to learn new teaching techniques and keep up with issues important to them. The information you can get off the Web may have nothing to do with computers at all.

• The US Department of Education has information online

• Follow the doings of the Pennsylvania State Government

• Want to check the names of administrators or school board members in your district? Looking for enrollment projections through the year 2000? Curious about how well students at the nearby middle school fared on reading and math portions of the Pennsylvania State System of Assessment? That is just a sampling of the kind of information available from the Pennsylvania Department of Education's colorful home page on the World Wide Web.

• The official School District of Philadelphia home page, created by the Office of Educational Technology, includes Administrative Offices, Career & Post-Secondary Educational Information, Resources for Parents, School Calendar, and lists of all schools.

• Superintendent Hornbeck's Children Achieving, the Action Design Summary released 6 February 1995.

• Parents of gifted students may want to check out the TAG Family Network
