Web's #1 Source for K12 and Higher Education News and Commentary - EducationNews.org - 0 views

  •  
    From the "about" section: A Global Leading News Source covering educational, political, business, and environmental issues. Since 1997 EducationNews has provided the latest daily EducationNews coverage from world-wide sources. In addition to the U. S. and world media publications, commentaries and reports are featured and include comprehensive views on education issues from all sides of the political spectrum. EducationNews.org has been ranked Number 1 for many years in our coverage of education. EducationNews.org is a fresh approach to the age-old problem of increasing coverage of education news. Unfortunately, education is not a topic that news organizations are able to provide premium coverage to all the time, thus ironically, all education experts face the same problem - the difficulty of educating the public.

Classroom Management - Jobs - 0 views

  •  
    This is a list of suggestions for implementing a job chart in your classroom. I really dig this one: "Historian - this person keeps a record of the major activities of the week, and writes one positive thing about each student in the class. I collect the historian report at the end of the week (sometimes the class helps by offering suggestions) and we will have a written history of our class that I will type and give to each student at the end of the year as a way to remember 4th grade"

50 Ideas for the first week - 0 views

  •  
    A lot of these things seem pretty obvious, but what I like is that the list is relatively all-encompassing which makes this a pretty handy reference for those of us who may be likely to forget something obvious like a seating chart (aka me) or are looking for a little extra motivation as the first week of school gets closer.

Class Dojo Adopts Deletion Policy For Student Data - 0 views

  •  
    This is particularly relevant to us give the use of Class Dojo at Poston Rd. I really like their logic behind deleting student data every year, saying: "We want to help kids succeed by recognizing and sharing the things they do well," the company said. "No part of that vision needs 'permanent records.' "
