It is imperative that educators continue to act as a professional community, building upon shared knowledge. University and K-12 faculty alike find and use profession, research-based, and standards-based tools each day. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to access quality, classroom-tested, educator-reviewed educational resources? The eduTOOLBOX resource-sharing portal began as an idea to meet this need for educators across the globe.
