---------------------------------

Greetings once again Teachers.Net Mailring Subscribers and supporters. On this 13th day of June, I proudly offer today's tip of the day - Teachers.Net's exclusive monthly column by Harry and Rosemary Wong, EFFECTIVE TEACHING.

Nearly a decade ago, Teachers.Net's community developer, Kathleen Carpenter, approached Harry Wong about supporting the Teachers.Net community. Harry and Rosemary are the top authors in education, creators of the blockbuster teacher guide, THE FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL. Harry is also the most sought out speaker in education today. Harry and Rosemary proved to be more than interested, and to our tremendous joy, offered to create a special monthly column exclusively for Teachers.Net!

And boy did they come through - Harry and Rosemary have written an amazing 107 articles for Teachers.Net through June 2011, and you can access each and every article, for free, from any page on Teachers.Net.

Current Article: http://teachers.net/wong/

Back Articles: http://teachers.net/wong/back.html

Harry and Rosemary are featured as the anchor article every month in the Teachers.Net Gazette, the online magazine published by the Teachers.Net community that I mentioned in detail in June 1. You can also discuss the Wong's articles, and anything related to classroom management on the Teachers.Net Classroom Management Chatboard.
