These are just useful sites that I frequent to help me plan and do my teaching thing.- Discovery Education - Lots of resources including a puzzlemaker and clip art.
- National Geographic - You mean the magazine?
- Time for Kids - You mean the magazine for kids?
- Dave's ESL Cafe - For ideas on your ESL classroom.
- 6+1 Writing Traits - A great way to teach kids how to critically look at writing - both their own and their buddies!
- Rubistar - Need to write a rubric? This site has them!
- Love and Logic - Need classroom management skills? I swear by logical consequences and the motto: "Move your hips before your lips".
- Wayne RESA and Washtenaw ISD - Educational resources for teachers in the Southeast Michigan Area. Wayne RESA has training DVDs for teachers in various topics such as "Using Word" or "Using Mac OSX". They have a wonderful technology department.
- College for Creative Studies Community Arts Partnerships - If you're a middle school teacher around the Detroit area, a good place for a field trip about careers in the arts is with the Discovery Tours through CCS's Community Arts program.
- ELMAC -Looking for a meaningful career change? Check out the University of Michigan ELMAC program, a one year intensive Master's degree program with teacher certification. In all honesty, if you plan on being a teacher, you really need to be in a classroom for a full year to see how it's done.
