      This website relies on information from Encarta, a reputable source. When I was in high school I had a few history teachers who would write a "This Day in History" on the board every day. Since it was part of our routine, as students, we paid close attention to it, and would complain when it wasn't there. We were developing an interest in history without even realizing it! I think its a great resource for teachers to use to capture interest, or even include historical information not mentioned in the curriculum.

IB program writing skills term papers process

    According to this article, long term papers in English and History classes are being shoved out because of standards limitations. Low income, middle class, upper class students all cannot write an essay to save their lives in college and beyond. Joellen and I were highly disturbed that the undergraduates in our Civil War class couldn't deal with footnotes and basic principles of writing. Professor Kraut was also infuriated. If there is anything more risking to our nation, it's poor writing!

    I agree with you on the importance of writing longer research essays in high school. The process of writing a long essay is a thorough exercise in understanding something in your own way, and it can be so satisfying upon completion. (like that student in the piece that was GLoWing...i like that feeling)

Inspiration teaching guidance counselor high school

    So this isn't article doesn't have a practical application, but it is very heart warming and inspiring. It's about an 81 year old guidance counselor in northern Virginia who has actually dedicated her life to serving her students. She continually works to build upon her skills and hone her craft and really seems to be the exemplar of what an educator should be.
