Hello I am currently in the Secondary Education Masters program . I was wondering if I could conduct an interview with a hiigh school teacher about effective assessments in the classroom. My professor had refer me to this teacher blog. If please get in contact with me through email at [email removed]
Discuss whether you agree or disagree with this position to my question. Some educators feel that declaring a moratorium on testing, or halting the use of tests in schools for a period of time, would be helpful? It would give people to consider the uses and misuses of testing and its value.
I am a substitute teacher working on my certification. I was given an assignment to visit this website and identify some advantages and disadvantages of being a teacher and get some quotes from both Master Teachers and new teachers on the subject. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello! I have a quick question for those of you who have been at it for decades. Has the behavior in low income schools always been so bad, or has it gotten worse in recent years? Thanks.
I have no idea about old days behavior in income schools compared to current days but I believe that behavior is related to income group. Mostly low income and very high income group kids

What I hate the most is being observed by my boss and questioned as to why I'm doing what I'm doing, when it is a skill that is clearly in the curriculum OR he/she telling me I should do something differently. I almost feel that they try to find something/or question something and want me to do what I do in my room like they would. So basically, I don't like being told what to do! LOL! :o) I get pretty offended when asked or suggestions are made. I worry sometimes that when I have to speak about the observation with my boss that I am going to come off as being too assertive or defensive, if you know what I mean. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do? What has helped you with this? What had helped you get more excited about teaching and less burnt out on the system?
Second, your written English appears very non-native. Aside from the fact that you are teacher and should be able to model proper English, you might also be having problems communicating with your students and your boss. Obviously you are quite fluent, but you made a mistake in nearly every sentence and your phrasing is not natural, so that leads me to wonder if you are able to pick up on nuance in communication which is absolutely necessary to handling students (as well as possible), to taking criticism/feedback, and to navigating workplace politics.

One of the best viral YouTube sensations I’ve caught in the past few years, “The Difference Between Cats and Dogs” features a Golden Retriever and its puppy. While this video has nothing to with education, it has everything to do the student-centered learning I saw taking place in a high school science class...
