If you know a non-profit organization, read below see how to win a $1,000 to give to a charity (it will also be nice for the award too; only a 500 word essay):
DEADLINE: Nominations must be submitted between September 17 - October 25, 2012.
Kaplan University will honor one exemplary team in six public service categories that demonstrates the following qualities:
Energy and passion for making a difference in the lives of others Enthusiasm for public service and a commitment to go above and beyond to exceed expectations
Strong team spirit and collaboration between all members of the team
We are asking you to help us identify teams that meet these criteria through your nominations. You can nominate a team of two or more by:
Submitting a one-page summary (500 words maximum) of how the team demonstrates empowerment in one of the public service categories and fulfills the qualities above.
Each winning team will be able to designate a charity of their choice that will receive a $1,000 donation from the College of Public Service, and a maximum of 10 team members will receive a complimentary course from the College of Public Service.

We had a reading assessment on the story we just studied together. There were 10 questions. We looked at all 10 questions together, spread out on 3 pages. I reminded the kids three times, to be sure to answer all 10 questions. They repeated after me, "Be sure that I answer all 10 questions."

They repeated after me, "Be sure that I answer all 10 questions."
What, then, do you do when they skip 2 or 3 or 5 of these questions? Do you mark them as incorrect, as I want to?? Thanks for your input.
So I am a first grade teacher of a great group of students! I do have some very major behaviors that I'm working on. However, I also have some very sweet kids who seem unhappy.

However, I also have some very sweet kids who seem unhappy. I overheard a table group making some unkind comments about me (specifically wishing they had a sub). This is something I haven't experienced before. This hurt - but I am the adult so I will get over it. I look at all the blogs of wonderful first grade teachers who are amazing -- they look like amazing teachers, have amazing products (many of which I have and use) and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't hear a comment from one of their students' mouths like the one I heard.
I've been teaching for many years - this is the first year that I've had this many passive/aggressive students -- ones who won't talk to me, or say no, or blow up. But many who are sweet too (even the ones that I mentioned can be sweet). I try to plan fun activities but I do hit academics very hard (but in a fun way). I wouldn't say I"m mean -- but I do sit kids out and give consequences when needed and I try to give choices to my defiant ones so that they will comply one way or another. I have quiet times in my classroom and times they can talk and share ideas.
I just wish I could figure out how to be the teacher that my class falls in love with and would do anything for - like the amazing bloggers seem to accomplish. I mean when you have a little group that would rather have a sub for their teacher than their teacher -- something is wrong.
Thanks for listening -- I know it's hard to advise because you don't know me -- it could be anything from how I dress, how I look to how I communicate to my challenging ones (thinking that I'm doing it all right but in reality I'm not). So, I just continue to pray that it will get better and know that I'm doing what's best for everyone! :)

My name is Matthew Callison. I am a former elementary teacher working on my PhD in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.
I am writing to ask for your voluntary participation in an online survey I created as part of a research study I am conducting. The purpose of this study is to learn more about elementary teachers knowledge of, and experience with, student-centered teaching approaches. My hope is that the information gathered in this study can be used to understand how we can better support elementary teachers.
If you are an elementary teacher, please consider participating in this online survey. Your experiences as an elementary teacher are invaluable in helping researchers and teacher educators learn more about how to support teachers like you in your important work.
The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal information unless you decide to leave your contact information at the end of the survey. You can learn more about the study and begin the survey (if you choose to participate) by visiting the link below:

If you know of other elementary teachers who may wish to participate in this study, please feel free to forward this email to them.
Thank you for your time.

Help! I need a song or a chant to help my students remember the steps to the writing process. I've been looking but haven't found one that will work for my students. Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone,
I thought I'd share this great teaching resource with you! This list includes websites for early elementary, ELA, math, science, social studies, and even some cool web 2.0 tools.
