This article from the Mayo Clinic seeks to dispel a number of common misconceptions about the nature of suicidal persons, especially young people. It also provides specific strategies for recognizing and responding to warning signs of suicide.

In the Classroom

This article would be the most useful in high school, and would be appropriate for gathering general information about suicide and help lines. Use the site in a health class as a way to broach the topic with students, sharing the site on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Teachers can have students explore it on their own, afterward having a class discussion on ways to spot depression in friends and how to deal with it.

This site provides highlights of current research on ADHD, and provides references to specific scientific studies. Most interesting for teachers maybe the tab at the top titled "Start." Slide down to ADDA Resources and find "ADHD Education." There are many articles for help with adult ADHD, too. Find webinars, a directory of ADHD professionals, support groups, workshops and much more.

In the Classroom

This is a great resource to share with parents at the beginning of the year, and list on your class website! Ask your administrator to place a link on your school's resources page to share with staff and students.

The American Statistical Association's careers page includes lots of information on what statisticians do, careers in statistics, and information on who hires statisticians. Click Education and under K12 Educators, slide to Classroom Resources to find several helpful links, and there's also a useful careers kit for students interested in statistics as a career. Although this site isn't highly interactive, it does offer a decent amount of information on a lesser known career option.
This site includes advertising.

In the Classroom

This is a great addition to math class. Show students how math is used in "real jobs." Put a link on your class website for students (and parents) to view at home.

The PBS Frontline series has taken a look at the SAT and how different schools use it to help make admission decisions about their applicants. While not a definitive study, the site shows some of the criticisms that have been leveled against the test, but also shows that the SAT is not the only criterion schools use in making their decisions. Worth a look if you work with college-bound students.
