S.M.A.R.T. Goals Replacing Lesson Plans

by Linda Fowler

Jun 21, 2011

I am taking a technology online course and one our lessons is on S.M.A.R.T. goals and using it instead of the usual lesson plan. If anyone uses this system, I would love to hear from you and even see an example of one you have done so I can actually understand the process of completing one.

4thintx I'm pretty sure Rick Dufore (sp?) was the one who created the smart goals. They were meant for professional communities and not class lessons. I guess the smart goal would be your objective, but not a full lesson format. Try checking his website to see if you can find anything.

Reading/writing notebooks

by Melissa

Jul 3, 2011

I'm looking for people that use reading and writing notebooks with their middle school students. I have a bunch of questions and looking for ideas specifically in the middle school. I was thinking of also making sure the kids have folders on their computers that mimic their writing notebooks.

Jul 6, 2011

I am a pre-service teacher, in my senior year- just going into my student teaching. (Yipee!) One thing that many veteran teachers have told me is that I should start picking up classroom materials here and there- so that I don't have to dish out so much cash for my first year of teaching. Specifically books and classroom decorations.

Deedee/SD I pick up a lot of my library books from 2nd hand stores. Rummage/Yard sales work too, but that takes more effort.

Picking up award winner books is the right start since you don't know what level as well. Scholastic book clubs is another great way to build your library after beginning to teach
