Thematic Bibliographies
The number one complaint I hear when working with educators is that research is too hard to access. That is why I have prepared these thematic bibliographies. Each bibliography lives in a Google Sheet, allowing you to download a copy and review a selection of research on that topic. These bibliographies are not comprehensive - that is because research is often housed behind paywalls that prevent broad sharing on a site like this. In order to be included in my thematic bibliography, the study must be peer reviewed and freely available on the ERIC database. If you are a researcher and would like to have a study considered for inclusion, please email me and let me know using the contact form below. If you are a practitioner and need access to a bibliography on a specific theme, you can also let me know using the contact form below.
