Extractions: Previous Contents Effective Learning and Teaching in Scottish Secondary Schools: Business Education and Economics Effective Leadership They use all of these qualities to create an environment which allows and encourages teachers to teach well and to meet the needs of pupils. "one member of staff had taught economics for over eleven years. Examination results had been consistently good but pupil numbers were now dwindling. He had not taught OIS or accounting and finance for the past six years. The school now had a serious problem about how to deploy him because he was out of touch with the changes in course content and assessment requirements and lacked credibility in the eyes of pupils and parents." Communication and consultation "the new principal teacher had involved all teachers in discussing the key issues in the weekly departmental meeting. The benefits were clear for all to see and were commented upon by the teachers - they were much more enthusiastic and willing to implement departmental policies because they felt that they had been fully involved in decision-making. This was reflected in the excellent team spirit."

Extractions: Expectations for Course: Participation : We expect that all students will come to class prepared to participate actively in the class. This includes thoughtful interaction with the readings for the class ahead of time, participation in class discussions (both small group and large group), and careful attention to the contributions of classmates. We ask that you bring 2 questions about the readings to every class. These questions will occasionally be used as the basis for discussions and will also help you interact with the texts for the course. Study Groups Attendance : We expect you to attend class regularly. If you have to miss a class for any reason, please notify the instructor or T.A. and arrange with a colleague to catch up on what you missed.

As just a few examples: some never get work done on time, some never start or are ready to start on time, some always seem to lose track of time and may forget to take their medication, some underestimate how long projects will take, some overestimate time intervals, and some don't even seem to know what day of the week it is! Helping a child or adult deal with time-related problems begins by assessing them to see if they have a particular skill or ability and are not using it, or if they are skill-deficient. Time Estimation Worksheet As your record your homework assignments and at the end of each school day, estimate how much time you think it will take you to do the assignment (Column 2). Then allow yourself a little extra time and re-estimate (Column 3).

Extractions: October 2004 Download this report: 295KB Acrobat file Help for Acrobat file Parents often become involved in their children's education through homework. Whether children do homework at home, complete it in after school programs or work on it during the school day, homework can be a powerful tool for (a) letting parents and other adults know what the child is learning, (b) giving children and parents a reason to talk about what's going on at school, and (c) giving teachers an opportunity to hear from parents about children's learning. In 2001 we reviewed research on parental involvement in children's homework (Hoover-Dempsey et al., 2001). The review focused on understanding why parents become involved in their children's homework, what strategies they employ, and how involvement contributes to student learning. The review supported theoretical arguments that parents choose to become involved in homework because they believe they should Table 1: What Do Parents Do When They Involve Themselves in Children's

Extractions: Teaching kids life lessons Katy Kelly T he school year begins with new supplies, fresh enthusiasm, and improved plans for success. Now it is October. Pencil points have dulled, crisp notebooks have been battered by the backpack, and good intentions have been flattened by overdue homework and procrastination. This is expected. Along with math and science, kids are learning how to plan ahead, pace themselves, manage time, find answers, and break down a project into manageable parts. Twenty-five years from now it is these life skills that will make Jane a good CEO and help John manage his medical practice. Parents who concentrate on the bigger picture will find the day to day is easier, says longtime teacher Evelyn Porreca Vuko, author of the recently published Teacher Says (Perigee, $15). Katy Kelly recently published a funny children's book about a third-grade girl who lives on Capitol Hill. Lucy Rose: Here's the Thing About Me Vuko's ideas are not always conventional. "Include the child in teacher conferences," she says. Give him a say in his life. Choices from tutoring to therapy, study hours to extracurricular activities, should be made together. "It gives them a stake in it," Vuko says. "If they have a part in the decision-making process, they are going to be part of the outcome." At the same time they are pushing ahead, they need to know how to pull back and relax. "Teach them ways to calm themselves," Vuko says. When children begin to feel overwhelmed by homework, a test, an oral report, or even a tense moment with a pal, simple techniques like deep breathing allow them to de-escalate and refocus. And teach them, she says, that when they are not sure what to do, silently count to three. "It gives them a small period of time to observe and plan an appropriate reaction," Vuko says.

Extractions: 10 Great Websites for Teachers Guiding Middle Grades Curriculum Decisions The first three guides (language arts, math, and science) in the Education Development Center, Inc. series, "Guiding Middle-Grades Curriculum Decisions," are available at MiddleWeb at no cost. The series, developed with support from the Edna McConnell Clark and W.K. Kellogg Foundations, is designed to assist middle-grades educators as they help young adolescents to achieve high standards. Each guide addresses the content of the curriculum and how it is taught; how the curriculum can engage all students in learning and meet the developmental needs of individual students; and what is required for successful curriculum implementation. Great Teaching Strategies We never cease to be amazed by the efforts of some teachers with a knack for the Web and an urge to share. This website maintained by a California high school English teacher has much to offer to middle grades teachers, too. Digital pictures illustrate various concepts used in Jim Burke's classroom, including notetaking strategies, graphic strategies, discussion strategies, and teaching strategies. A second page on "note-making" (beyond "note-taking") includes visuals of many techniques, PDF versions of handouts, and more. And don't miss the English Companion homepage!
Education Book Review/How Do I Teach? Paterson, Kathy (2002) How Do I teach? and Keep My Sanity! Handling homeworkissues; Alternatives for studying spelling; Using volunteers effectively http://www.lib.msu.edu/corby/reviews/posted/paterson.htm
Extractions: Many teachers have asked themselves the question this title poses! The answer according to Kathy Paterson is with organization, time management, care and compassion. This resource is full of a wide range of creative and common sense ideas to help teachers manage their classrooms, build relationships, and save time. Each chapter begins with two pages of narrative explaining the focus of the chapter, followed by many activities and ideas. The activities and techniques are quick and easy to implement, and most are classroom-tested. Other books may treat the topics presented here more thoroughly, however, this is a great book for one stop shopping of practical ideas. Some topics that stand out include: Of particular note are the two appendices: "Enjoying Impossible-to-Put-Down Books" and "Reading Books that Turn On Even the Most Reluctant Readers." Another great feature is the reproducible sheets scattered throughout the text. The material is aimed at grade school classrooms, and can easily be adapted for middle school classrooms.

Bailey - Chapter V All this time Foster was acting as secretary to the Theosophical Association of New York - an unofficial independent organization - and I was cooking, sewing, doing housekeeping and writing books at home. Every Monday morning Foster and I would get up at 5 o'clock and do the weekly wash including the sheets for there was little money coming in and it has been only within the last year or so of my life that I have been free of some of my housework. Foster at this time organized the Committee of 1400 - a committee pledged to endeavor to swing the Theosophical Society to its original principles. This committee was in miniature a tiny replica of the major world cleavage which has climaxed since 1939 in the World War. It was essentially a fight between the reactionary, conservative forces in the Society and the new liberal forces which were working to see the original principles of the Society restored. It was a fight between a selective, isolationist, superior group who regarded themselves as wiser and more spiritual than the rest of the membership and those who loved their fellowmen, who believed in progress and the universality of truth. It was a fight between an exclusive faction and an inclusive group. It was not a fight of doctrines; it was a fight of principles and Foster spent much time organizing the fight. [189]

School History Websites Offers discussions on teaching, suggestions, ideas, trials of ICT and historymaterials It is aimed at Lord Williams s students as a tool for homework, http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/historywebsites.htm
Extractions: Spartacus Educational : Established in September 1997, the Spartacus Educational website provides a series of history encyclopedias. Titles currently include : 1900-1945. Entries usually include a narrative, illustrations and primary sources. The text within each entry is linked to other relevant pages in the encyclopedia. In this way it is possible to research individual people and events in great detail. The sources are also hyper-linked so the student is able to find out about the writer, artist, newspaper and organization that produced the material. Thinking History : Ian Dawson's Thinking History website is an attempt to make good quality active learning ideas freely available to teachers all round the country. A book of activities has never been a practical proposition but a website offers the chance to build up a menu of activities. It also includes several examples of the same model of activity for different topics. Thinking History will build up slowly over the next couple of years, starting with a dozen activities in September and then adding others each month, hopefully including activities submitted by teachers. Ask an Historian A group of history websites are now offering a new service to its visitors. In future people will be able to ask a panel of experts, questions about history. The panels include teachers, historians, authors and researchers with expert knowledge of the period. Where possible, people with actual experience of these events, will also join the various panels.

University Of Virginia Teaching Resource Center Teaching Resource Center. West Range walls. Back to Publications VersionMathematics Handbook Addresses Key Departmental issues in TA Training http://trc.virginia.edu/Publications/Teaching_Concerns/Spring_1999/TC_Spring_199
Extractions: Terrell Hodge, Graduate Instructor, Department of Mathematics Nearly all graduate students in Mathematics teach for their entire term of enrollment at U.Va. These TAs serve both as leaders of discussion sections (fourth hours) and as principal instructors, often performing these functions for different courses at the same time. To address the multiple roles they play, we included sections on: By writing a handbook for our own department, we were able to include such specifics as a listing of mathematics courses with which TAs may be involved, giving a brief description of the content, number of credit hours, the TAs role, prerequisites, and the types of students who commonly enroll. This is especially helpful because TAs begin teaching in their first year, before they have had time to make their own assessments of the differences between their undergraduate experiences and the expectations of U.Va. students.
