Wildlife Habitat Council - Lesson Plans Furthermore, the modules allow schools to utilize nearby natural areas as outdoor a series of lesson plans to teach students about Backyard Conservation http://www.wildlifehc.org/managementtools/backyard-lessonplans.cfm
Extractions: Teaching Students About Backyard Conservation Backyard Conservation is a program of the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) that teaches citizens how to improve water quality and provide habitat for wildlife using conservation techniques developed for farms. The Backyard Conservation education modules encourage students and their families to explore and investigate the fascinating natural world in our own backyards. Furthermore, the modules allow schools to utilize nearby natural areas as outdoor classrooms, reducing or eliminating the need for costly and time prohibitive field trips. Backyard Conservation provides excellent resources to undertake community-based ecological restoration at homes, schools, businesses and parks. With the emphasis on community, Backyard Conservation provides a vehicle for helping teachers and students of all ages meet and integrate curriculum requirements in areas such as science, math, social studies and language.

Lesson Tutor : Applying For A Teaching Position Free lesson plans, printable worksheets, study notes, course outlines the trip to fill out an application, that I was able to meet a school principal. http://www.lessontutor.com/eesapply.html
Extractions: The re are several ways to procure applications for teaching positions. Some schools have web sites that offer online applications. Others offer to mail applications if you will call and give them your mailing address. During such a phone call, you may want to ask details about the available positions. This is valuable information. For instance, if you like teaching both 4th and 5th grades but you find that the job opening is for 5th grade, you can tailor your application to address the need for a 5th grade teacher. Conversely, if you are a music teacher and the school doesn't offer music courses, it could save you the time of filling out an application for a job they don't have! If you live in the city in which you desire to teach, the best approach is to personally go the school office and ask for an application. This gives you the opportunity to see the campus and perhaps even meet someone in administration. It has been my experience several times when I made the trip to fill out an application, that I was able to meet a school principal. On one occasion, the principal gave me a tour of the campus. When I returned to interview, I had already established a rapport with that principal that made the interview much more comfortable. Incidentally, I received a job offer from the principals I met when picking up my applications - in every instance. Certainly I am not promising that this will happen 100% of the time, but my experience tells me that the odds increase for a more successful interview at a later point when you personally pick up your application and seek to meet administration while there.
Extractions: Web www.jact.org Home Teaching LACTORs are a series of translations of source material for the study of Ancient History and Classical Civilisation. They were initially published under the aegis of the London Association of Classical Teachers (L.A.C.T.), starting in 1968, but are now published by the LACTOR Committee, an independent, non-profit-making body. LACTORs bring before the student, who may have no knowledge of Classical Greek or Latin, a wide range of Greek and Roman literary texts, documents, inscriptions and coins. These illuminate the history and civilisation of Greece betwee 478 and 323 B.C., and of Rome between 133B.C. and A.D. 117 (or, in the case of Roman Britain, down to A.D. 410).

Wolf Ridge Teacher Resources: Trip Planning They usually can be scheduled to watch a program before teaching it. Some schools plan activities along the way, researching the trip beforehand, http://www.wolf-ridge.org/teacher_res/trip_plan/trip_planning_tips.html
Extractions: The teachers who wrote these suggestions bring students not because they (the teachers) would rather be sleeping in bunkbeds away from their families, eating pizza in a cafeteria, and slogging through the mud on a cold rainy day with 20 wet children, but because they believe in the positive changes in academic achievement and self esteem that they see in their students. These changes, though not easily measured, remain as a reminder of one of the most memorable educational experiences of students' lives. We are grateful to those teachers and all the others who make these experiences possible. In the handbook. . .

Extractions: 2005 Schools of the Year Huntingdon Primary School 191 Cox Street Huntingdon, TN 38344 www.huntingdonschools.org Project Title: A+ for Smart Energy Choices Project Adviser: Connie Bond Student Director: Micah Bullock This year our school had its first energy team. Six energetic students enjoyed exploring energy sources, teaching others about energy and conservation, and learning how to be leaders in our school and community. We selected the team name Wiser Misers because we agree it is wise to conserve our earth and energy resources. We went on four energy facility tours, held after school energy meetings, and raised $722.92 with projects that included collecting and recycling aluminum cans, used cell phones, and ink cartridges; entering recycled crafts in the fair; and sponsoring an after school Energy Carnival. This money bought CFL bulbs and an energy efficient water heater for Habitat for Humanity. Our teacher received over $4,000 in grant money to help us complete our projects. We sponsored field trips for the third grade and special education classes and held six demonstrations. We bought CFL bulbs, recycling bins and gifts for Harmony Hill residents. We planted an outdoor garden and learned about solar energy during space week. We also had eight energy-related speakers at school. Since we participated in the 3 Star Community grant, our school will receive $1,500 in energy efficient light bulbs. We had a fun year!

Extractions: It began with a casual query at a teacher conference. It was March 1994, and 100 physical science teachers from around the state were meeting at the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM), in St. Paul. At the time, SMM hosted four teacher conferences a year, in partnership with the Minnesota Science Teachers Association (MnSTA). John Olson, a member of the conference organizing committee (and later a nominee for ASTC's Honor Roll of Teachers), pulled me aside after one of the sessions. "Our school board just passed a resolution that requires geologic time, paleontology, and evolution to be introduced to students in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades," he said. "Our district's curriculum team needs to develop a plan and train a lot of teachers. Can the science museum help?"

Nattily in Naples The Bay of Naples counts among those natural formations in whose presence your eye returns again and again, looking with wonder and appreciation, like the grandeur of the Rockies viewed from the prairies of central Colorado, or the Alhambra in Granada. The Bay encompasses a teeming world of culture and history, commotion, with the majesty of Mount Vesuvio rising above it all. We had avoided Naples on a previous trip to Italy . Thankfully so, since driving in this chaotic, grimy city would have quickly dissuaded us from staying. This time, we arrived without a vehicle to tie us down from exploring the streets, the old city, the small and large plazas, the little but lovely markets. Naples, the city, has a certain character, home-spun sophistication, and charm that grows on you, only slowly. It is a city, almost still a city-state, with bustle galore. It rises, and plunges, and slopes away from the aesthetically pure crescent-shape of the Bay, with
