Hello all:
I want to propose a school-wide assessment system that informs decisions about ways to improve student learning in the classroom and prepares students for post-secondary admission tests. The dilemma in my district is that many believe that teacher-developed assessments are realistic measurements of student progress, while others feel that a testing combination such as the PSAT and the SAT and the PLAN (ACT) provides appropriate data to track student progress. Is…

January 2006 was the best time of my life. After a difficult pregnancy my daughter was brought into the world, healthy and beautiful. I was excited about being a mom.
I was also thinking about her future. Where would she go to…

Today was one of those days! I had to take a deep breath, and exhale, "Woosah." (For those who don't know, I got that from the movie "Bad Boys" with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith.) It works for me, because it stops me from saying something I have no business saying to someone else's child! My students were so crazy today with the level of "it's all about me". All the "this is what I want to do, and who cares what you say!" No, they didn't actually say those words, but the body language,…

Over the past two years I have tried to make an effort to include more digital media into my classroom. In the past month I realized just how far I have come in my learning. During the first term in Language Arts we studied the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and one of my students found some 'Book trailers' other students had down on the novel. This sparked my interest and I decided to try it as a wrap up to our Literature Circle during the second term. Instead of booking the video cameras…

I’ve previously discussed my districts Digital Educators program (Digital Educator Leadership Training - DELT) here. I wanted to discuss some more about how it works in our district, some of its most redeeming qualities and some opportunities it has opened up.
Basically how DELT works is each year teachers are allowed to apply to join a DELT cohort by completing an…

Hafa Adai and Warm Greetings from Guam!
I'm assembling a binder for my career exploration class that I'd like my students to use as reference material and useful resources.
Can anyone share reliable personal or career or skill assessments that I can add to the binder?
Thank you!
Amanda

So...today was Day 2 of the CSAP. As a Special Education teacher I am no longer responsible for an entire class, but I do still proctor the assessment for some students. This year I just have one kiddo. It's really pretty nice...relaxed and pressure-free. No complaints from me.
Today, however, there was a little glitch. We had just settled into our little…

I have 'that one student.' You know, the one who you really, really try to reach. The one who you try all sorts of motivational techniques on. The one who you know is headed in a very bad direction if he doesn't shape up soon. The one who is sarcastic, rude and disrespectful, no matter how nicely you talk to him.
I have that student. And I am fresh out of ideas.
I do not believe in giving up on a kid. Never have, never will. I guess my question,…
