ERIC is the go-to database to search for articles and government reports on all aspects of American education. Academic Search Premier and Credo Reference are databases that search multiple topics, and may be good sources of information to use, in addition to Eric. A to Z Link can search for specific journals, if you would like to browse articles or need to find a specific journal.
