Really struggling with student growth models as they relate to teacher evaluation. The state of Illinois will be implementing this bin the next few years. So far there is very little guidance or models. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Debra, A colleague and I mentor aspiring principals and network with practicing practicing principals using online tools.  If this is something that would be helpful to your cohort, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Happy to help!

My colleague and I in the process of creating a cohort of administrators within our school district who completed their admin internship but due to a shortage of new opening they returned to the classroom. We would like to provide for them professional growth opportunities and guide them through identifying their strengths and needs using the ISLLC frameworks. Has anyone provided a continued support system in their district for new administrators who are still in the classroom?

I've been working in federally-funded grant programs to support schools for the past few years. I'd like to share some free resources for administrators:  http://www.niusileadscape.org/pd offers ready-to-deliver professional learning on a variety of topics, and http://nichcy.org/schools-administrators has useful information on serving students with disabilities, including legal requirements, discipline, and effective use of paraprofessionals. I've worked with some really dynamic principals over the years, and I know that you all need a variety of tools at your fingertips to manage the complex work of schools (especially in these hard budgetary times).

Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...

I sincerely apologize if any of you are receiving this message more than once. We are trying to reach as many teachers/students as possible around the world. It's possible that you're a member of more than one of the groups I have joined. My apologies!

My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.

I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.

If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.

We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all  parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!

Our  twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

Rossel Mulaire

Colegio Euroamericano,

8th and 9th grade Social Studies teacher

Social Studies Department Head and Model United Nations Advisor

Any ideas for a integrated tech lesson between kinder and 5th?

Comment by Gayle Allen on September 12, 2010 at 8:28pm

I've just entered a new school. It's a high-performing, successful independent school. The challenge is that the school's success prevents them from seeing the need to integrate meaningful technology into their teaching - they don't think they need to. How can I establish need over time, while valuing what they bring and have been successful doing (though from another era)?
Thanks!

Our school system is going to plan a huge dive into Google Apps Integration. Has anyone already done this? Would love to hear some ideas going into planning!
