by Mandy

Aug 20, 2012

The program I completed was K-12 Spanish, so when you are done, that's what it states on your certificate.

The program my colleague co...See More

Paula In this political climate and a time when many schools are underfunded, I would most certainly want that social studies licensure listed on my record. Spanish would be the first to go of the two, so I would think that in the case that your school district has to cut, you might be saving yourself a job.

menne Every year we go for the past eight years we have made cuts. In our middle/high school almost everyone has double or triple licensures. This has made the cuts like a pin ball.

In our school the one with the correct licensure and the highest senority keeps the job.

Example 1: You've been teaching Spanish for five years, teacher B h...See More

12 Ways to Ensure an Effective Lecture

by Teachers.Net Gazette

Aug 29, 2012

Very few students get excited about a lecture. Even the best teachers have a hard time holding the attention of their students when the class consists solely of lecture. In most cases, students simply learn better when they have a chance to talk to each other, work together to solve problems, and take an active part in their own learning. But that ...See More

razmum If you have a union, I would contact your union rep or someone on the state union level. I'm shocked that your district would agree to this since it sounds like they would be the ones held at fault for agreeing to include this in the plan.

menne My students have a binder that they keep. One section of the binder is for bell warmers. Everyday I post a question that they must answer. It is a review question from the previous days lesson. I collect the binders once a week and "grade" the bell warmers. Mostly Ii just check and see if they attempted them, with different expectations for differn...See More
