We have several databases provided by the Area Education Association for our students to use, providing them with access thousands of articles, ebooks, and videos for their project needs. These databases can be found here. If you would like to access these websites, please contact me at mussmanna@davenportschools.org for a username and password.

Access to thousands of resources can be overwhelming, even for experienced researchers. I offer individual assistance and classroom teaching to help students navigate the databases through advanced searches. If you find yourself in need of assistance while helping your student, please contact me at the email above.

In teaching our students how to ethically use information from other sources, I also provide lessons in MLA and APA citations and Works Cites/Reference pages. These lessons are also available individually and in the classroom setting.
