State Business And Industry Association

Launches Website For Educators

The Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA) introduced a new website, www.proedresources.com, designed specifically for state educators.

Proedresources.com is a new resource to help Connecticut teachers find well-documented and successful strategies that improve student performance in math, science, and language arts. The resource also offers “how-to” advice and helps educators meet curriculum requirements in their districts, schools, and classrooms under the No Child Left Behind Act.

The website is designed for superintendents, assistant superintendents, curriculum directors, and teacher leaders. It provides quick and easy access to research and successful educational resources from the mid-1990s to today.

“This is a wonderful new database of resources for Connecticut educators,” said Lauren Weisberg Kaufman, CBIA vice president and executive director of the association’s Education Foundation. “Proedresources.com is an easily accessible and user-friendly site that offers educators an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of best practices and engage Connecticut students in proven and well-documented learning experiences,” said Ms Weisberg Kaufman.

Proedresources.com is funded by the Connecticut State Department of Education and uses only nationally recognized resources from websites funded by state departments of education, universities or colleges, independent research or philanthropic organizations, and national professional associations. It does not include any commercial or commercially funded sites.

CBIA is the business and industry partner for the statewide implementation of No Child Left Behind, and has created a bridge for local businesses and schools to interact with each other for the betterment of students.
