	External Teacher Resources Teacher Resources Below you will find several web-based resources, organized by discipline to support educators in planning for instruction and to use in the classroom with students. We have worked with educators across the city to identify sites they find useful but please note that the majority of these resources are not developed or maintained by the DOE and the content may or may not be aligned to the CCSS. Are there other websites you think would be useful to your colleagues? If so share them by emailing CommonCore@schools.nyc.gov with your idea.
