In the busy-ness of a typical day, it is difficult to find time to look at all of the incredible resources available to us. This week we’re highlighting resources on the Indiana Department of Education’s website. Some have a direct link to Transition, while others link to subjects that affect our daily lives as educators.

Take a minute to locate a new (or not so new) resource to support your work.
