	Main Avenue Elementary School	Located in the Robla District, Main Ave. is a great school and a wonderful place for me to student teach. Check out their website if you're curious.	For anyone interested, check it out!
	National Association for Gifted Children	This organization, which I interned for in Washington D.C., has great information for gifted families or educators. It includes news about state policies, federal legislation, and current information on Gifted and Talented programing. It also includes lots of great resources and articles. However, perhaps my favorite part is the Advocacy Toolkit, which I helped to create.	Resource for parents or fellow educators, a few kids links.
	Great Schools	Want to know more about your childs school? This site is usually fairly up to date and can provide all sorts of data such as annual testing results and number of "Highly Qualified Teachers" to school demographics.	Resource for partents.
	Text Levels	This is actually a site to purchase AR quizes, but it is also a great way to quickly search books and find out their reading level.	For Teachers and/or Parents.
	Brain Teasers and Math Puzzles	This page is actually a page of links, linking you to some of the better brain teasers and math pages on the net. I first stumbled onto it several years ago, and I've used it several times as a great way to start a day or fill some time when waiting.	Teachers, Parents or Students.
