Library guides and databases: Education (Curriculum Resources and Initial Teacher Education): Other resources

Additional resources

These pages highlight further resources that may be useful for ITE trainees, and teachers, whether performing historical research in the field or looking for contemporary material for using in the classroom or to inform their practice.

They cover resources that are part of UCL IOE Library collections, as well as beyond.
