Hi All, I am a new graduate and next year will be my first year teacher and the principal gave me book, and wants me to prepare lesson plans with activities and handout copies attached. Can somebody please suggest any website from where I can download and print handouts for students. I don't mind getting subscription

Knock yourself out spouting half-truths and misinformation. Share your inflammatory rhetoric. Deploy your ad hominem attacks. You will get followers and supporters.

The thoughtful, reasoned, and critical-thinkers will be able to make up their own minds.

stand up I have no reason to spout half truths. The information I share is easily verifiable.

I am not going to lie and pretend that forcing our students to be a number on a data-driven conveyor belt is going to produce outstanding scientists or mathematicians. In fact, state testing has been around for over thirty years and what has all the data-driven instruction accomplished? Well, it has made billions for Pearson. Yes, I hope I get followers to stand with me in denouncing the takeover of education. I stand for teachers and what they can do in a students life if allowed to design instruction and carry out authentic learning. I encourage anyone reading this to read about Professor Stroup from the University of Texas who testified honestly and openly about state testing. Wake up teachers. People are speaking out and if we don't stand together against the fads and brainwashing we will lose our profession. There is still time to reclaim our precious public schools.

Teachers will get a kick out of this collection of school-based groaners by humorist John Wood who reports from the fictional Fuddle River School District. (Be sure to share the link with friends who need a laugh.)

Does anyone have any experience using FOSS kits and STC kits from Carolina? I want to purchase one of them and was wondering which would be better.

Hello. Depends on which kit activity. Generally though, I think the STC kits are more inquiry based. Marlin

I am especially interested in approaches to low-level learners and how to get them from basic concrete ideas to higher level thinking ideas. I have an AP w...See More
