The last decade has seen a significant change in the role of the teacher in schools. At one time the major focus was on the instructional process and behavioural objectives.   Now the focus has shifted to facilitating the learning process. Recent discoveries in brain research combine with newly available technologies to make a shift in philosophy from behaviourism to constructivism. This page provides links which explore these changes.

These web pages were assembled for teachers.  There are well over 100 pages on this site and all have a similar format. All pages that vary in appearance from  this page are linking off site to the work of others.

Every effort is made to validate the educational substance of these sites.  Please remember that the dynamic nature of the Internet requires each of us to use caution when presenting web sites to students.
