When your students misbehave for other teachers - 0 views

  • Most students view specials classes as a break from regular learning. That’s not true, of course, but it’s how they see it.
  • In many students’ minds, it’s not necessary to sit still and listen to the teacher until “real” learning takes place again back in their own classroom with their “real” teacher.
  • So if you can, plan those less active lessons for the days students have PE or other specials that permit them to move around, and on the days when students will need to concentrate during specials, try to plan more hands-on activities in your classroom beforehand.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • If a particular teacher has a hard time handling your class or certain students in your class, talk with him or her about it when the kids aren’t around. You could say, “I know __ can be challenging sometimes. One thing I’ve tried in my classroom with him/her is ___. I’ve also tried ___ and sometimes that works, too.” Find out what kind of routines and behavior management/reward systems the teacher is using, and share what has worked in your room
  • Don’t put yourself on a guilt trip about something that happened while another teacher was in charge
  • The key to getting students to behave appropriately no matter where they’re at is teaching them to make wise decisions for themselves and exercise self-control rather than depending on teacher control

    A good article. Sometimes, it's a struggle to know what to do about a situation that occurred when you weren't around. This article gives a proactive approach.

Classroom Behavior - Elementary School | Kid Pointz - 0 views

  •  
    Teachers play such an influential and important role in the life a child. The last thing a teacher wants, but so often gets, is a rude child. Teachers will usually try to address the behavior themselves, but they need the support of those at home to help create a lasting change.

Those Tired Summer Reading Lists. Here's What to Do. - 0 views

  •  
    What does a summer vacation with required reading look like? For 16-year-old Heather Smith, every Friday last summer meant making sure her reading assignment was done. A junior at Golden West High School in Visalia, CA, Smith had to read Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and write weekly journal entries.* Make those choices student friendly.. Super advice

California Summer Reading Program: Value of Summer Reading - California Library Associa... - 0 views

  •  
    Summer reading programs: help children and teens retain and enhance their reading skills over the summer; provide a haven and a community for readers; and are a valuable outreach tool for libraries. And now that schools are implementing the Common Core Curriculum, which embeds literacy in all parts of the curriculum, reading is becoming an even more essential skill for our children and teens. Great Perspective.

ABCya! | Story Maker - 1 views

  •  
    A friend shared: "When some Kindergarten teachers at [his school] asked [me] to find a web tool to help their students create simple drawings and write sentences below them, I searched but found nothing. So, I asked ABCYa's Alan Tortolani (a friend of mine) if he could come up with something. Here's the result. Kids love it! Printed output looks great. Perfect for early writers and artists!
