WEBSITES
Dialogues in Methods of Education is a group of educators who have been meeting twice a year since 1980. Members include teachers at all levels, specialists, administrators, and researchers. Discussions range across the curriculum. The dialogues touch many topics, including hands-on learning, problem solving, collaborative learning, innovations in teaching, making sense of student work, assessment, communication with parents, and multicultural classrooms. Two-day conferences are held in spring and fall. DIME members' primary interests are in the "everyday problems" of classroom teachers.
