I need some suggestions on how to light a fire under my student teacher. I teach in a middle school resource room for reading, English and math.

He is very sports minded so I suggested a theme of the olympics, gave him a list of web sites, newspaper articles that the could use, resources, and he even said that would be something he likes. I have yet to see anything from him relating to this nor have I seen any motivation to do anything on his own. If you were him how would you like to be approached about this. I would like to keep this between us and not involve the university.
I would like to thank everyone in advance for taking part in this survey.

As a teacher candidate, the information you provide will aid in my understanding of what constitutes being an effective teacher. Effective communication between students and teachers is crucial for any classroom. It is my belief, that in order to facilitate effective communication, teachers must foster a safe and welcoming environment which is a direct result of respect. Related to respect are the perceptions people have of one another and of ones self.
Please review the questions below and rate how strongly you agree (10) or disagree (1) on its merit with regards to communication. Once again, I would like to thank you for your time. Feel free to add comments.
1.) Effective communication cannot exist in the classroom without students having respect for each other and the teacher. ____
2.) Respect is one of the most important elements in character education. ____
3.) Being respectful includes being open to, and actively supporting diversity. ____
4.) Once respect is lost, it is almost impossible to regain. ____
5.) Respect is the single most important element of classroom management. ____
6.) In order to be reflective one must be able to challenge one’s perceptions. ____
7.) Effective communication is facilitated when both parties are aware of the others perspective or perception of a situation. ____
8.) A respectful person is more likely to understand another person’s point of view. ____
Once again, Thanks George
So I have about 2 weeks left of student teaching and I wanted to do something special for my students. Any cute/fun ideas? They're kindergarteners and the experience has been fantastic.

This is my first experience posting a message on this site. I am currently in the midst of a yearlong program to earn state certification and an MAT. The program is very intense; I student-teach for a full school year (yes, everyday all day from the first to the last day of school!) while simultaneously taking grad courses to fulfill the MAT requirement.
I have had many struggles; indeed, my mental, emotional, and physical health have all been tested. This certainly has been the most challenging time of my life. I am finding courage and strength in family, friends, and peers, and also from a recently-discovered reserve of inner strength. I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes:
Au profondeur de l’hiver, j’ai découvert qu’il y avait, en moi, un été invincible.
(In the midst of winter, I discovered that there was, within me, an invincible summer).
-Albert Camus
I hope that others find strength and inspiration. You can do it!
Can anyone provide some constructive feedback on my cover letter? This is my first time applying for teaching jobs. I have had some friends look at it but they are all poli-sci majors and I'd like feedback from some fellow educators. THANKS

To Whom It May Concern,
I am very interested in applying for the elementary teaching position within the Matthews County School system. I have recently obtained a Vermont teaching license from Saint Michael’s College and am in the process of completing my M.ed. in elementary education with a reading concentration. I have also started the process to obtain my Virginia elementary teaching license by June 2010 so I can teach in my home state.
I am a teacher because I am passionate about helping students become life long learners. This past fall I had the opportunity to illustrate this passion when I interned in a multiage 3rd/4th grade classroom at Allen Brook Elementary in Williston, VT. During this experience I was able to use my strong academic background in education, and creative talents to develop an integrated standards based social studies and literacy unit and other lessons that engaged students in hands on learning. I particularly chose to focus on using maniplatives, art and technology in any lesson I could to accommodate the multiple intelligences of all my students.
I am very interested in a position in your school district because I feel I can provide students with a learning experience that is meaningful to their lives. I believe I can create a learning environment that can achieve this by the enthusiasm I illustrate for being a teacher and the genuine interest I take in each individual student. In addition, by also using responsive classroom methods and making the commitment to seeking out any resource that will help me fulfill each student’s needs and my creative approach to innovative lessons that engage all learners.
Please refer to the completed application I have enclosed that includes my resume and references. I look forward to meeting with you at your earliest convenience to discuss how I can make a positive contribution as a teacher within the Matthews County School system. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary E. Simpson
