1-Resources

This is a list of the resources recently purchased by the district that were used in the 2011 training. These SHOULD be at your campus for this school year. I also included the books that I brought from my personal library. Many of them are available through your school as well, OR, if you cannot find it, email me and I may be able to lend it out, depending on the title.
