Curriculum Information / Required Resources
Minimum Guide for Resource Selection

The following materials use a number of active links. These links are checked as often as time permits, but it must be understood that links may be 'down' for various reasons. In such cases check other similar links or try at a later time to see if the link is operational. Another problem which can occur with links, is that I have no control with regard to the material changing, or if the entire nature and/or content of the site changes.

If you are checking and find that a link is no longer appropriate, for any reason, please contact me so the link can be checked and removed if necessary.
