|   September 06, 2009 - 01:37 AMHello. 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 | ||||||||

| August 26, 2009 - 10:03 AM Hi everyone. I am currently in the process of getting my BA for Middle School Education and, lately, I have been getting cold feet as to whether I can actually do this. I do want to teach, but there is a part of me that is telling I might not be cut out for this. I just wanted to see if anyone had some advice for me or if anyone has experienced this before when they were in school. Any advice is greatly appreciated :) | ||||||||
| August 22, 2009 - 07:54 PM I just found this website. It sounds very interesting. I work at a special needs center for preschool, and also with my special needs grandchild. Looking forward to checking the new pages of ideas. | ||||||||

| August 15, 2009 - 08:37 PM I am interested in writing an article/book about teachers" problems with administrators. i.e. bullies, abrasive, abusive... Is this happening only in my area or is it widespread? I am interested in knowing proposed/workable solutions (other than legal remedies), protective laws in other areas, and actual cases where power abuses have occurred and their outcomes. I will not use your name in my article unless you ask me to. Thank you, Mary | ||||||||
| August 14, 2009 - 09:59 PM I am a retired teacher who is mentoring several new teachers in a middle school in the district. I am certified in social studies and language arts. However, I am working with a 6th grade math teacher. She needs a quick inventory to assess what they already know. Any suggestions or help will be much appreciated. | ||||||||
| August 14, 2009 - 05:36 PM I forgot to include my e-mail in the last message. | ||||||||
| August 14, 2009 - 05:35 PM I have been teaching for 14 years. 12 of those have been in first grade and 2 of them have been in second grade. Now I have been displaced and am going to be teaching sixth grade at an intermediate site. The class is self-contained so it is still multiple subject; however, I am freaking out. Any help or suggestions on what to do with this age group, especially how to begin the year since I have no experience at this level would be greatly appreciated. | ||||||||
| August 14, 2009 - 07:43 AM For Gail a couple of messages below--the Topic of the Week section contains numerous bulletin board ideas. Take a look. | ||||||||
| August 13, 2009 - 10:12 AM I"d like to comment on the article "the Evils of Book Reports." As a private tutor, one thing I found that was a good book report replacement with some children was to introduce the idea of the reaction paper. They enjoyed the idea of writing a short paper about anything that popped into their head while reading, instead of regurgitating the story for 3-4 pages. | ||||||||
| August 10, 2009 - 03:16 AM I"m new to this site, and I"m looking forward to sharing ideas and lesson plans on the site. I teach middle school tech/math/science/English Language Development (ELD). If anyone wants to connect and share ideas, plans, lessons, or set up a shared virtual classroom, please feel free to email me. | ||||||||

| August 03, 2009 - 02:27 PM Hello- I have recently accept a Special Education position at a career center (vocational school) that serves 11-12 grades. I will be teaching math, science and English. To be honest that is all I know about the job...I do not have any handle on the level of the students but I am guessing, after reading their IEP"s, I am going to have students with very high to very low academic ability . My question is do you have a general curriculum guide, resources, ANYTHING that will help me with the upcoming school year. Thanks in advance :) | ||||||||
| August 02, 2009 - 03:33 PM I have to teach in 5 different rooms for a Math class. I"m stressed because the teachers whose room(s) I"ll be using are either unorganized, reluctant to leave the room while I teach, and just not friendly.Any suggestions? | ||||||||
| July 31, 2009 - 07:55 PM I am searching for a novel study unit on "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Urulsa LeGuin. The guides I have found do not offer what I need.

| July 30, 2009 - 10:07 PM A lovely and lively page which boosts a role of a teacher.We too can proudly voice out our profession. I enjoy being in touch with like minded people in this profession. "We touch the future......... We teach" is one of my favourite line as a teacher. | ||||||||

| July 13, 2009 - 09:18 PM English is either a second or third language to the national teachers in my country. Due to this we find writing reports very tedious. My colleagues and I endure cold nights collating semester reports for our students and the results is sometimes unhealthy. We are in dire need of simple report comments that can aid us in writing student"s reports. Beggars are not choosers therefore we will accept anything that you share with us. | ||||||||
| July 11, 2009 - 03:32 PM Hi, I am now teaching pre-kindergarten (3 years old). What is the best practice in teaching phonics or the alphabet to 3 years old?

| July 07, 2009 - 01:56 PM I am looking for a Georgia test preparation book for the GACE tests for teachers of Middle Grades Social Science.
