2008-2009 DLC Membership Resources

Teacher Time Savers

DLC-developed online tools speed lesson planning and research

• Bookmark Tool
  The bookmark tool helps teachers save links to anything on the web, share those links with others, and find links that others have saved. You'll cut your preparation time and learn about new web resources from other DLC members.
• Washington State Standards Alignment Tool
  Find a variety of DLC teaching resources and library databases that align with Washington state standards by using our standards correlations tool.
• Other Education Initiatives that Align with DLC Resources
  Our resources align with eight components of the powerful teaching movement, as developed out of evidence-based research from the University of Washington and Seattle Pacific University. There are also twelve initiatives of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction that align with the content and philosophy of the DLC. You can review alignments that relate to special education and preparation for the WASL.
• Meta-Search Engine
  The search tool allows users to search across all four DLC library databases at once, making it as easy to find high-quality educational resources as it is to search the web. You'll find the yellow search box at the top of nearly every page on our site!
• Support Documents and Best Practices
  DLC-created best practices and support documents smooth the way for schools to get up and running with the best chance for implementation success. Whether you are a teacher, student, registrar, or administrator, you'll save time by following our recommendations for online learning.
• Comprehensive Quality Reviews
  DLC performs a quality review on each of the resources included in your membership so that you can trust what you are using and move forward with the work at hand.
