Teaching High School and Surviving!: June 2008

http://newhighschoolteacher.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 26, 2008. All New Teachers: Buy This Book! This is truly the best book out there for new teachers or for people thinking about teaching as a career.  The writer is a former high school math teacher and he writes about teaching with humor, practical tips, and great information about what is really like.  I just completed my first year, I read this book before I started, and now I'm reading it again because it is that good!

Teaching High School and Surviving!: updating handouts for the new year

http://newhighschoolteacher.blogspot.com/2008/08/updating-handouts-for-new-year.html

Tuesday, August 5, 2008. Updating handouts for the new year. I'll try to post more later.  I've been busy teaching summer "school".  It was really just glorified baby sitting.  I taught two classes called "Game Masters" and "Chess Club".  I basically just spent three hours playing games with 7-11 year olds for three weeks.  Easy and fun, but not nearly as rewarding as teaching high school biology and math.  .

Teaching High School and Surviving!: August 2008

http://newhighschoolteacher.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 18, 2008. Is it the Technology? I read this article from the NYTimes:  http:/ www.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/technology/17essay.html? At School, Technology Starts to Turn a Corner".

My take on it: teaching students to be proactive. Tuesday, August 5, 2008. Here in Philadel...
