Freshen Up Your PLN for the New School Year
posted by: Ruthie | August 09, 2013, 05:18 PM
In the past, we've talked about the importance of setting up a PLN (professional learning network), an online alternative to a school based professional learning community or PLC. PLNs are one of the few forms of professional development that have been shown to have a lasting impact on teacher practice and student learning. As the new year approaches, now is the perfect time to take a look at your PLN and make sure that it's getting the job done.   Continue Reading...

In the hustle and bustle of the everyday classroom, it's easy to forget that every month new research is being published about education.

With that being said, we've compiled some of the latest studies and polls that all classroom teachers should be talking about:   Continue Reading...

We recently introduced our new Professional Development Calendar, meant to be a single place where teachers can find a wealth of upcoming opportunities.   Continue Reading...
When you talk to educators about professional development, there tends to be a mindset that favors events like conferences, workshops, and webinars. Even though studies have shown that these forms of professional development are limited in their success, teachers still cling to them as ways to connect with other educators and get new ideas. That's not to say that these forms of professional development are entirely without merit, just that by relying on these staples we close ourselves to other opportunities.   Continue Reading...

Do More With Writing!
posted by: Alix | October 10, 2012, 03:57 PM
Let's face it, writing is important. It is a skill that is necessary in nearly every field, yet our students often feel that writing is something that they don't need to know how to do. They don't see how their language arts classes will correlate to their careers in medicine, technology, or business. While we as teachers understand the importance of this skill, this lack of buy-in on the part of students' shows that we're not doing all we can to communicate this to them.   Continue Reading...

Six Bulletin Board Ideas for Back-to-School Time
posted by: Larisa | August 16, 2012, 08:03 PM
Whether you’re a new teacher or an old pro, one of the first responsibilities a teacher faces during “back-to-school” time is decorating the bulletin board.  This is precious space that should be utilized wisely – after all, you never know who will be coming into your classroom or walking by, so you want to broadcast student achievement, projects, and events as proudly as possible.   Continue Reading...
Do Girls Hate STEM Classes?
posted by: Larisa | August 10, 2012, 05:00 AM
I’ll admit it: as a student, I loathed math and science.  In fact, one of the determining factors in selecting my college major was how little math and science was required to get my degree.  I also figured that I had enough trouble solving my own problems as a college freshman without having to solve x’s problems, too.  Besides, as an aspiring professional violinist, I was engrossed in practicing music, oblivious to the fact that math, science, and music significantly overlap.  In my sage adulthood, I now realize that I didn’t hate math and science – I just hated how it was taught to me.   Continue Reading...

Raising the Bar
posted by: Larisa | July 25, 2012, 06:02 PM
It has recently been suggested that, in order to elevate the quality and status of teachers in America, teachers need to take a “bar exam.” After all, doctors and lawyers have serious hurdles to jump over in order to secure and maintain their licenses. The work that you do as a teacher is just as important as the work that a doctor or a lawyer does—in fact you educate future doctors and lawyers. Why shouldn’t teachers be held to the same standard as lawyers and doctors?   Continue Reading...
Teaching Digital Citizenship in the 1:1 Classroom
posted by: Larisa | July 23, 2012, 12:51 PM
There are many benefits to having students in a “one-to-one” classroom, where each student has access whenever needed to an Internet-connected device.  One-to-one classrooms can differ both with regard to the tools they use and the manner in which those tools are employed.  Some 1:1 classrooms, for example, have a class set of iPads at their disposal; others use laptops, netbooks, or tablet computers.  In every case, however, the key to a 1:1 classroom is that the tech devices being used are not shared with other classrooms (as is the case with a computer lab or a laptop cart that rotates from classroom to classroom) – instead, the teacher and students know that they will be able to access the devices whenever needed.   Continue Reading...
The ABCs of Avoiding Big Error
posted by: Larisa | July 18, 2012, 02:13 PM
Teaching is about trial and error.  As a teacher, you know that students learn differently and that a lesson plan that works for one student might not work for another.  Through the years, you refine your technique by testing out various teaching strategies to discover what is and is not effective.  Unfortunately, with trial and error comes the danger of BIG error, and, if that’s the case, we know the terror of big error – you might get fired, sued, or both.   Continue Reading...
