I am looking for help to study for the assessment center for NBCT. I need to increase by 0.675 and I am testing in June. I am looking for a group where we could write questions for each other and help in the studying process. If anyone is interested please let me know.
The Federal Reserve is in the news a lot lately. But few people understand its role. High school teachers can order a free "What We Do" lesson plan kit at the following website address:

My name is Allie Cashel and I work with a company called Postcard.
Just over a year ago, we created a digital space where individuals used their own words and images to take collective action on causes and issues. In our first month, we saw students from around the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and even Nepal make their mark on a number of those collective action projects. They stood together on issues like educate, campus sexual assault, governmental reform, disaster relief, and sent messages to other young people in need of support.
Their work was incredibly honest, genuine, and powerful. And once we saw what student activists could do with the Postcard platform, it really got us thinking. What if we created a space specifically for young people? A space where students could get involved with the issues affecting their community and generation, and use their passion and skills as social innovators to create change.
That's why we created Postcard Educate - a new social action platform where students can mobilize their communities and create positive change within the safety and focus of the classroom environment. Through partnerships with schools, youth groups, and teachers, we hope to engage students around causes and issues that matter to them.
We know that some of the most active supporters of current social movements are young people. Students are consistently engaging with digital movements such as #BlackLivesMatter and #IceBucketChallenge at home, but they rarely have an opportunity to express themselves as activists at school. With Postcard Educate, you can integrate that passion for activism into your curriculum, inspiring your students to become active citizens working to create positive change.
This year, we are offering the Postcard Educate Common Core Aligned curriculum and platform free of charge as part of our pilot season. Please reach out if you are interested in using this platform to inspire the next generation of change makers!
We have a fantastic postcard exchange, and we are just missing teachers from Mississippi, Maine, New Hampshire and North Dakota. I usually find new teachers over the summer, but this year I didn't, and now I am desperate to find a teacher.

I usually find new teachers over the summer, but this year I didn't, and now I am desperate to find a teacher.
I wrote a blog all about how a Postcard Exchange works. You mail out 51 postcards, and you receive a postcard from every state, Canada, and Washington, DC. It makes a fantastic bulletin board, and the students learn a little bit about each state, so it is a great center activity.
We are in our 15th year, so our exchange usually has 100&37; participation, and teachers only leave because they retire or change grades. Help me complete our exchange.

Teachers.Net teachers listed 3 (sometimes more) attributes of a great principal. (We were especially struck by the 2 shortest entries, those posted after "Mutual respect and trust needs to be nurtured," about 3/4 of the way down the page.)
What would you add to the list?
