Would a cumulative exam be fair? Can you include previous content as well? You could make a couple sections of basic recall, then a couple...
No problem. I don't check these boards too often, but PM me if you have additional questions!
I teach freshmen English (and a large number of students with IEPs, where late work is generally noted in their IEPs). I accept late work, and...
I have participated in Challenge Day twice. We always try to keep the message going after Challenge Day leaves. We have, in groups, watched...
fleming, IEPs seem to encompass all you stated, but we do not have the different levels. If a student has a labeled disability, he or she may...
One of my opening activities is that we go to the stage. We learn basic stage directions, a quick tour of a stage (of course it was different at...
I've decided to seek counseling services this year. I am a second-year teacher, and with student lack of motivation, refusal of assistance,...
peachacid, I'd say your response was appropriate. You were not preaching or even sharing a personal belief. You stated facts about different...
I'm working on a few graduate certificates at the moment--just completed one in Multicultural and Transnational Literatures, and working on...
Can you cover these units using other skill sets necessary for history: reading/creating maps, sequencing, types of government, essay-writing?...

I am only a second-year teacher, but here's what I can offer: 1. I am in PA 2. My B.S. is in Elementary Education (K-6) and Special...
One of our teachers is going to use Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian! This is a wonderful (fictional) book...
Rugby--yes, I would believe you still need to become certified through regular pathways regardless of level of education.
I'd go with 3 or 4. Three would suggest sparking wonderful discussion (unless the discussion turned too negative), and I'd be curious what would...
DallasTeacher, our district is similar. Further degrees net you more pay, not higher steps. 18 credits beyond BA/BS is $1000, a Masters is $2000...
I'd vote for gift cards to Barnes and Noble or Borders. Or, as someone above mentioned, Amazon.com gift card (but I didn't know they had those!)....
I would say that some students are quieter. From a differentiation perspective, I would hesitate to claim "this is how we learn." That is,...
I would work on a Masters concurrently with teaching (and, incidentally, that is what I am doing). However, I would wait at least a year before...
I had an incident with a neighbor and her toddler earlier this school year. I was uncertain whether to call our child services hotline, but a...
