HELP!! Every year I have extreme difficulty teaching the perfect tenses of verbs. The students know how to write them, but do not know WHEN to use them. The definitions are way too confusing for them and I can see why. Any ideas on how to make this difficult concept easier for them to understand?

I am looking into leaving the high school self-contain setting for the elementary level resource classes. What interview questions should I ask the interview committe? What should I know about elementary special education for Spring 2010 interviews? What do they mean by IEP minutes for push-in minutes? Any good reading strategies?

I"m a kindergarten teacher. Most of the parents here think that the children should write a lot. (at the age of 3or 4). We always tell them that their children have to read a lot instead of write a lot. Can anybody give me any suggestion about this issue ? Thank you for helping.

Is there a resource to help decide if teaching is the right job for me. I have a bachelors in business, some master level classes and have stopped. I"m 46, constantly intrigued by teaching and need to make a decision.

I volunteer with our children"s ministry at church, school events, etc so I understand some of the responsibilities of keeping children "involved," but not to the level a teacher has to do all day. I think that"s what scares me most....would I be boring to kids.

A former Norfolk Va and Virginia Beach Va teacher who moved to California wants to keep in touch with Virginia friends. They can be found at www.twitter.com/maryscott5
You may know them. They are using that name because of internet safety, but if you read from the beginning, you may figure out who they are by what they do and say.

I am an English teacher, not working right now so that I can be home for my children. I am lucky to have had the choice but I miss the students and my co-workers. I think a lot about teaching as a profession. Teachers are one of the most important influences on children and therefore on the future of our society, so why are they not the most respected and highly paid? Please share your thoughts with me. I want to do something, take some action, start a movement, something- to advance teaching as a profession. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I am a regular ed Kindergarten teacher. This year I have 3 children in my classroom with cerebral palsy,one with Down Syndrome and one with a diagnosis of Autism. I am looking for ideas on how to adapt activities to best serve these little guys, especially when we do activities involving fine motor skills. I have pencil grips and different scissors, but it is difficult to hand-over-hand three kids at a time (I usually have 1 other adult,) and address the needs of the rest of the class as well. Thank you!

Hello all, I"m in my internship year at an elementary school and I"m in a real sticky situation. I thought the teacher that"s mentoring me liked me, were getting along great and she seemed to really like me. I did a lesson for her and she observed me and I got a great score, now I"ve done another one and she scored me really low. I"ve noticed that her attitude towards me has changed drastically and I don"t know why. When I get the observation back, she"s gone out on the deep end telling me all this stuff that I"m doing wrong, when she OK"d it at first. I heard from someone else that she thinks I"m trying to take over her class, but i"ve done nothing she hasn"t asked me to do. What should I do. I don"t know if her comments could get me in trouble with my school or not. What she"s saying isn"t true, but I don"t want to get her in trouble, because I really like her and respect her as a teacher?? Should I say something to the University I"m attending? Help!!

Hello,
I am currently working on my Bachelor"s in elementary education and one class in which I am enrolled is Teaching Diverse Popluations. I am currently working on a project looking at the differences between white children and African Americans, as far as home environment, learning styles, history, etc.
I also want to find information on education in Africa as far as structure, standards, statistics, methods, etc. I would appreciate any input from those who have worked or currently work as primary teachers in Africa or from those who know of helpful, reliable sources on education in Africa.
Thank you for the help,
Shannon

Science. I am looking to buy some prepared animal and plant cell slides that have the cell structures(mitochondria, nucleus, etc). I want to use these for my class to see what the cell structures look like under the microscope and eventually have a test where they have to identify them through the microscope. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on where to buy these type of slides and which ones to get. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone myname is Rob and I have been a special education teacher for some thirty years. I have worked with the famed B.F. Skinner, Nathan and Victoria Azrin and Carl Delacato and Glen and Robert Doman. Pioneers in the field of neuro-development. I am in the process I guess that is always the line of developing a learning center to work on the cause and affect of all kinds of disabilities. I have developed my soon to be website you can view and if any one is interested in being a part of it and perhaps contributing to it or helping me I would really apprecicate it. I hve developed a brand new therapeutic excercise to treat autism. I hope to keep talking to everyone. Rob

Hello. I am primary school teacher in Finland teaching grade 5-6. In geography I use stamps, banknotes and coins to show the children. It is a great idea to use authentic material to learn about a country"s history and national emblems etc. If there are teachers with the same interest I would be glad to swap material with them. Good luck for the new school year. Heimo
