“This compendium of all things educational is a gold mine of data for administrators, students, grant writers, researchers, budget preparers, and just about anyone who needs a few statistics to spice up a PowerPoint. This single-volume reference brings together names, contact information, dates, research-information bits that seemingly should be easy to track down but often remain elusive. A quick glance at the table of contents hints at the comprehensive coverage: associations, conferences, consultants, financial, and government referrals, professional development, publications, overseas teaching opportunities, software, hardware, the Internet, and testing resources and supplies-and that’s just the first section. Part 2 presents national and state statistics (elementary and secondary, postsecondary, international comparisons, federal programs, libraries and technology, outcomes); Canadian data; and a glossary. Part 3 consists of three indexes: subject, geographic, and entry/publisher. Reference collections that support educators, students, and parents will want to make this available to their patrons, either in the print or online version. Now in its eleventh edition, the Educator Resource Directory remains the go-to reference for current education related queries.” -Booklist, Nov. 15 2015 “All school, public, and academic libraries need an up to date education directory to keep them abreast of new developments in the field and this is a worthy choice.” -ARBA “Education professionals (including teachers, administrators, and librarians), researchers, and students entering the field will benefit… this directory will be a good ready-reference resource for K-12 professionals, as well as academic libraries supporting teacher education programs.” -ARBA “This handy tool, appropriate for larger public and academic libraries as well as school districts, will be highly valuable to those writing education grants…” -Library Journal“Each section is organized clearly and logically… Each entry includes an address and telephone number, and sometimes a fax number and the name of a contact person. Three indexes--by entry, by publisher, and by subject--facilitate information retrieval. This is a well-organized directory…The work is recommended for all collections that serve elementary and secondary school professionals.” -ARBA “A…thorough volume, the Educators Resource Directory is a useful but concise resource for any educator at any level in the educational process…A valuable and user-friendly tool, the Educators Resource Directory is a recommended purchase for any library, at any level.” -ARBA “… It is notoriously difficult to find the correct contact person in two areas: submissions to publications and application for teaching abroad. Both of these areas are well covered in this encyclopaedia… Education professionals will be able to use this source for employment, publishing, and conference opportunities. Merely browsing the topics will most likely cause readers to discover new avenues they had not previously considered… This one volume has the capacity to save literally hours of valuable research time. While most of the information can be found scattered in other sources, this book will be a useful addition to a school system, public library, or academic library that offers degrees in education.” -Booklist “In the hectic 21st century, one finds oneself searching for sources not previously available and sources which are concise and quickly assessable- freeing up one’s valuable time. The information that is provided in the Educators Resource Directory will go far in providing this well needed access for educators of the present and future. Whether one is in government, business, industry, university, college or public school level, this book is a must for all educators and trainers and shall be a primary source in their representative libraries.' -International Journal of Instructional Media
