Resources

Classroom websites developed by eMINTS teachers provide rich resources for their students and their families. They also provide models and resources for other teachers, especially those who are engaged in eMINTS professional development programs.

The eMINTS National Center is developing a centralized listing of links to eMINTS teacher websites as a resource for teaching and learning.

Teacher portfolio

All eMINTS and eMINTS4All teachers in Missouri and Alabama should complete teacher portfolios during year 2 of their Comprehensive eMINTS or eMINTS4All program. They are optional for teachers from other states. The portfolios are meant to show your ability to apply what you are learning in eMINTS sessions; they are not an evaluation of your teaching.

Veteran eMINTS or eMINTS4All teachers who completed their professional development programs prior to spring 2008 with an eMINTS staff member OR a participant or certified graduate of the eMINTS PD4ETS program may register to submit a portfolio.

Standards

ISTE National Educational Technology Standards

The International Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE) National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) have served as a roadmap since 1998 for improved teaching and learning by educators. ISTE standards for students, teachers and administrators help to measure proficiency and set aspirational goals for the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to succeed in today's digital age.

Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs)

See Missouri's GLE information from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).

Show-Me Standards

The Missouri Show-Me Standards are academic standards that incorporate and strongly promote active, hands-on learning. By integrating and applying basic knowledge and skills in practical and challenging ways across all disciplines, students become more engaged and motivated learners.

Missouri-specific resources

Lewis and Clark resources

While many states observed special events from 2003 through 2006, celebrating the Corps of Discovery holds special meaning for Missouri as the state from whence Lewis and Clark departed in 1804 and returned in 1806.

The goal is to facilitate the creation of high-quality digital resources for Lewis and Clark materials for classroom use. MOREnet is working together with the eMINTS program, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Missouri State Archives, University of Missouri-Columbia's College of Education, University of Missouri-Columbia Department of Geography, Missouri Historical Society and others to make Lewis and Clark resources unique to Missouri digitally available through the MOREnet network.

Resources include WebQuests, eThemes, videos, links to maps and curriculum units. Additional resources will be added as they become available.

The video series, Finding Missouri: Our History and Heritage, for students and teachers in Missouri's elementary and secondary schools, was funded by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Historical Preservation Section of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Each of the 18 videos focuses on a single topic and lasts approximately 10 minutes. The videos feature documentary film footage, images of and spoken words from primary sources, reenactments of historical events and people, footage of historical sites and interviews with experts.
