A norm in many mutual help settings is to receive help as needed, and to give help when you can. Please help expand our holdings by uploading your course syllabus, other course materials, or descriptions of your own teaching activities or resources to the appropriate sections of this area of the SCRA website. You can also send materials to the Council of Education Programs (CEP) at CEP.SCRA@gmail.com.

Tips for sharing resources: When uploading resources, choose the appropriate folder and upload your file. Once uploaded, rename the file with your last name and document title (e.g. ahrens, class privilege.pdf). Then, use the comments feature to add your description or any notes. Need help?
