General Education

My students are writing complaints about me, and I'm worried
Hi, I work as a teacher at a detention center, but lately, my students have been writing grievance forms (they're a complaint form the kids have free access to, probably intended to prevent serious abuse) concerning my lack of interaction and face-to-face instructional time. This really isn't that kind of class, and I don't think […]
New buzzwords? New books?
Is there anything hot and new that any of you all are planning on implementing next school year? Any new websites you plan to try? New teacher books you're reading? In previous years, I've bought a teaching book to read each summer. This year, I feel no motivation to do that. Plus, I haven't heard […]

Feeling and acting lazy!!
These are the terms I'm applying to MYSELF! I nailed down a new position early June and the most I've done is bringing home teacher editions and lugging my crap into my new classroom. For those whose school year ended in May, have you been as "non-working" as I have? I know I should be […]
