Om exakt 14 minuter och 32 sekunder och fyra små hundradelar får ni sommarlov. Ja, ert skolår! Ett helt år. Ni har varit här massor av timmar i skolan. Ni har haft 54 lärare till er tjänst och stöttning. Ni har också ätit massor av skolmat. Nu har ni ätit upp 4 ton potatisar, ätit 647 kg köttbullar, druckit upp 851 liter mjölk så vi i skolan tror att ni växt till er ordentligt.

Teachers Transform Lockers into Book Spines 2315 41ShareNew School might be out for summer, but teachers at Biloxi Junior High School in Mississippi are already preparing for the fall. A group of teachers and volunteers are turning the 8th grade English hallway into an “Avenue of Literature” by painting the 189 unused lockers—which had been sealed shut for security reasons for more than 15 years—to look like the spines of popular books. The teachers are hoping that by surrounding their students with books of all genres—including classics like Gulliver's Travels and Moby Dick, and newer titles, like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Hunger Games—they’ll inspire them to explore and love literature—no matter which book they choose. Elizabeth Williams, one of the teachers working on the project, told WLOX, "We want students to come back to school in August and walk on the hallway and be absolutely amazed with what we've done and be curious.

Classroom Seating Arrangement Good morning! :) One of the most important things to me is how you arrange your classroom. I always think about a few things when considering how to arrange my classroom... -Can my students all see the SMARTboard from their desks without having to turn around? -Can my students access all of our classroom materials without having to move something? Sometimes I have to arrange the room, and then tweak it a little to make sure all of the above questions are answered YES. I've had my desks arranged in many different ways during the years. When I taught specials classes and had mostly small groups of kids at one time (between 6-10 kids most of the day), I had my classroom set up with my meeting table in the middle. If you want to see some examples of my classroom seating arrangement, you can see one of my previous posts about how to set up your classroom. I love several of these arrangements... especially the one in the middle on the right. That's all she wrote,
5 Research-Based Tips for Providing Students with Meaningful Feedback In recent years, research has confirmed what most teachers already knew: providing students with meaningful feedback can greatly enhance learning and improve student achievement. Professor James Pennebaker from the University of Texas at Austin has been researching the benefits of frequent testing and the feedback it leads to. He explains that in the history of the study of learning, the role of feedback has always been central. When people are trying to learn new skills, they must get some information that tells them whether or not they are doing the right thing. The downside, of course, is that not all feedback is equally effective, and it can even be counterproductive, especially if it's presented in a solely negative or corrective way. So what exactly are the most effective ways to use feedback in educational settings? 1. For example, feedback like "Great job!" Has a student's performance changed or improved since the last time you assessed her? 2. 3. 4. 5.
