Lycos TOP 5% is the oldest and most prestigious website directory. Since 1994 their expert reviewers have scoured the Internet to select only the finest sites. Each site in the TOP 5% directory includes a detailed review describing its editorial and visual merits. TOP 5% was voted the #1 website review service by Internet World Magazine. Lycos regularly reviews and ranks web sites according to a composite of content, presentation, and experience.
CMMR is ranked among the top 5% sites in the education category. About CMMR TOP 5% says: "Multilingual and multicultural education enthusiasts will enjoy this expedient, annotated resource index. A division of USC's School of Education, the CMMR understates its own interests (e.g. attracting prospective students, promoting its publications), while providing a public service to the education community. Their framed interface serves up pertinent national news, plus extensive WWW links in categories like Native American Resources, Asian-American Resources, Language Policy and Rights, Latino... Minority Teacher Projects. You might be able to find these links elsewhere, but the CMMR's discernment coupled with expert annotations recommend this as a fine place to start and perhaps finish your Web consult on multicultural and multilingual education."
