Today's tip helps teachers connect with other teachers in their grade level, and find resources especially targeted for teachers of their grade level.
But you may not be aware that Teachers.Net offers a channel exclusively dedicated to the grade level that you teach. Whether you teach childcare or are a college instructor, Teachers.Net has a discussion network just for you.
Grade Level Chatboards
Current Listing of Grade Level Chatboards:
If you haven't been by these chatboards yet, stop in and introduce yourself. You'll find the teachers on the Grade Level Chatboards are wonderfully supportive, and love to welcome new voices to the group.
Current Listing of Grade Level Mailrings:
To browse the hundred of great lesson plans in your grade level, look for the "browse" link on the top of every page of the Lesson Bank, or scan the categories listed on the Homepage of the Lesson Bank.

That covers the major grade level resources on Teachers.Net. If you'd like to suggest a resource or give us feedback on any of our resources, you can post to our Feedback Chatboard, or if you don't want it published, use our feedback contact form.
Teachers who regularly visit Teachers.Net no doubt are aware of the Mentor Center, which provides teachers access to over 150 unique chatboards for all major aspects of teaching. You've probably also seen our prominent red link in the top right, directing you to the Chat Center, an extremely fast-moving page capturing the latest discussions occurring all across Teachers.Net.
Teachers.Net offers web-based discussion boards (our chatboards) for every grade level. The Grade Level chatboards are all indexed at on the Grade Level Chatboards page. They can also be accessed directly from the footer of every page (see the drop box featuring our site map); from the side links on the Chat Center page, and from the Mentor Center complete chatboard listing.
These chatboards move very quickly, so you'll want to bookmark them and return often. If you have a nagging question relevant to your grade level, this is a great place to start - post to these chatboards as frequently as you are able, the more you post the more useful these resources become for your peer group.
Grade Level Mailrings
In addition to the Grade Level Chatboards, Teachers.Net also features a collection of email discussion lists exclusively for teachers of every grade level. Like the chatboards, the Teachers.Net Mailrings connect teachers with a common interest in a collaborative support environment. However, the mailrings provide the convenience of having the discussions sent directly to your email box. In addition, the mailrings also dispatch chatboard digests or updates for the chatboards directly to each corresponding mailring. Most chatboards have a complementary mailring, and to catch all the news, information, and chat, we recommend you visit the chatboard regularly and subscribe to its companion mailring.
For fastest subscribing, see the Teachers.Net Mailrings page, where you can sign up for as many mailrings as you like from a single page.
Grade Level Lesson Plans
Teachers.Net hosts a collection of over 4000 teacher-submitted lesson plans, from short simple ideas to give your lesson some zing, to advanced standards-based curricula. All lessons in the Teachers.Net Lesson Bank are categorized and searchable by grade level (as well as subject area).
Grade Level Live Meetings
In addition to the wonderful grade level resources listed above, Teachers.Net also hosts live meetings for different grade levels. Be sure to check the Live Meeting page for the latest listing of upcoming live events.
That's it for now from Teachers.Net headquarters in San Diego - I hope you're enjoying your summer!
