One of the waves hitting schools today is anti-bullying movement. Students, teachers, administrators, and schools as a whole are becoming more aware of bulling and acting against it. But what does this actually mean for teachers? Obviously teachers can participate in the scheduled programs to make bullying more aware, but is this enough? What should, and must, teachers do concerning bullying?

All about the students!

What is the point of teaching? Is it simply to put a knowledgeable person at the front of the room and let them mention and instruct on different things they know? Or is it something deeper? I, and many others, believe that the goal of teaching is the success of the students. However, I have also encountered many teachers who do not care about student success. These teachers just like to lecture and show that they are knowledgeable, and get paid all the while! I believe this should not be the case; teachers need to be for the students first.

At the bell

Have you ever wondered how to start class off? Have you ever to taken attendance or passed back graded papers and thought you were wasting valuable time? I was definitely in the same boat up till a year ago. Last year around this time I was in an early experience classroom where my cooperating teacher did this thing called bell work. Students walked into he classroom, sat down, and immediately started work that was on the board. I was shocked! This gave the teacher time to take attendance, pass back graded papers, check with people who were missing work, and still have students do something productive.

Should Students Work Together?

Desiring to be a math teacher next year, I have thought a lot about how I am going to teach. There are a lot of different strategies when it comes to teaching, but what is the best method? I used to always think lectures and note taking was the best for math classes, but now I am questioning this thought. What about the implementation of collaboration?

Way too much Tech

Have you ever thought that there are way too many different ways to implement technology into the classroom? A teacher can create podcasts, blogs, wikis, direct videos, PowerPoint presentations, websites, and more! This can be good because there are so many options to choose from. However, since there are so many different types of options it can be hard for a teacher to master the use of all of these different technologies.
