I Can See...

TeacherVision is a great resource for teachers. It has so many worksheets, lesson plans, tips on running classrooms, and more. Not only can you print these out, but it's encouraged that you do so. I spent most of my time exploring the 11th and 12th grade English areas of the site. While there, I found enough quizzes, handouts, and lesson plans to keep someone going all year. This is such a great resource, especially if you are struggling to find a new and different way of presenting something such as the epic poem the Odyssey.
Another neat feature of TeacherVision is the Graphic Organizer tab. Graphic organizers are a really effective way for students to record their thoughts in a way that is easy for them to go back and review. Providing these for students can help them develop and hone their note-taking skills, which will be useful as they move further through their education.

The tab titled “Classroom Management” was also very helpful. There are tips on how to memorize students’ names quickly, conflict resolution methods, how to create a syllabus, and many other topics. New teachers who have never set foot in a classroom before, as well as veteran teachers who are looking for new ways to enhance their classroom, can find this resource very useful and helpful. I am sure that I will be using TeacherVision as a resource in the near future.

  3. Sam,

    This is an awesome link! There is so much information on here for all grades. You could spend all day gathering information! I also agree that there is enough information to gather and print for a school term.
    In addition to pondering on whether to start a registered in-home daycare, I am still working towards a teaching degree. Perusing through some of these links gave me so many ideas on what I could do if in an actual grade classroom setting.

    Thanks again!
