Hi Steph,
The "teacher voice" develops as you begin to feel more comfortable in the classroom. Basically, if I student or students talk while you are speaking...stop...and then stare at the students very seriously. If that does not work...walk ove...
I agree. I would also add that not only is cooperation appreciated, it is simply expected.
If you are over-prepared with your content before each class, your knowledge will be obvious, and that is comforting to students and seems to soothe them. ...
Steph, I have been teaching 8th grade English for several years. It's a great age, isn't it? In addition to what the other responses have suggested, I would add one practical tip that you could use starting tomorrow: silence. It's a strange irony ...

MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?

I am the curator of the site. Other people have told me that they have submitted pieces, but I have not gotten any notifications since I got the first 7 or so submissions last spring. When I log on I don't see any indication that anyone has s...
Hi, Meghan.
Ask at your hotel where the nearest train station is. The convention center and Marriott Hotel are right at the Reading train station. Hope you have a wonderful time at the conference. The program is bursting with speakers and session...
