Read our survey highlights about teacher training in technology. Read "Moving Teachers Along a Competency Continuum." Read "State Policies on Teacher Training." September 23, 1999 Preparing Teachers For the Digital Age By Andrew Trotter A school can have the best software ever made and access to the Web on every computer. But it won't see much difference in student learning, experts say, unless its teachers know how to use the digital content in their classrooms. "I could put the same software into two classrooms, and in one classroom, it's used horribly, and in the other classroom, it's fantastic. It's all got to do with the teacher," says Gregg Martin, the technology director at Addison Central Supervisory Union, a school district in Vermont's Champlain Valley. A stack of government and academic reports over the past decade backs up Martin's view, quieting an old debate among educators and technology seers about whether computers can replace teachers or even compensate for poor teaching. "As schools continue to acquire more and better hardware and software, the benefit to students increasingly will depend on the skill with which some 3 million teachers are able to use these new tools," a presidential advisory panel on education technology concluded in 1997 after reviewing a wide array of research.

Teachers Can't Teach Because 'Methods' Courses Are Content-Free by Linda Schrock Taylor by Linda Schrock Taylor I have railed against the inane qualities and expectations of public education since graduating from college and beginning my teaching career. Or, at least I thought that was the timeframe. But an article in Education Week never use anywhere near children. No course taught me how to teach reading. No course taught me how to teach content subjects. No course taught me how to manage a classroom and teach a wide variety of children with a broad range of needs. No course taught me how to do skillful, diagnostic teach-test-teach instruction. During my student teaching experience I was used as a teacher-aide, and never given full control of the class until all but one of the certified staff left for a trip to Washington D.C., taking the best-behaved students with them; leaving the school and the remainder of the children in the care of student teachers. The Education Week I had been calm until he said that. My anger then flared, and I bluntly reminded him that I was

I found this text stuck on the door when I moved into my office as a graduate student at the University of British Columbia's Mathematics Department . The text consisted of four pages, typewritten, numbered 449-452, of which you can see pictures here . I do not know the source. The heading and the text at the end are scanned in from the yellowing pages of the original, and the text at the end suggests that what I have must have appeared in some publication, but the editors do not know the original author. Actually, my suspicion is that the original text may have ended with the paragraph starting with the words "There is one last point on teaching technique", since that paragraph would be a natural stopping point. The rest of the text starting with "The first section of this guide has dealt with actual teaching" might well, thus, be by another author. Please e-mail It is the responsibility of the teacher to actively involve his or her students in the learning process. The most important thing he or she should do is to avoid giving clear, concise, organized lectures.

87. Saricoban & Metin - Songs, Verse And Games For Teaching Grammar (I-TESL-J) After deciding the grammar point to be studied, and the song and the techniques to be used, the teacher should prepare an effective lesson plan. http://iteslj.org/Techniques/Saricoban-Songs.html

The Internet TESL Journal Songs, Verse and Games for Teaching Grammar arifs [at] hacettepe.edu.tr Introduction Grammar teaching has often been regarded as a structure based, formal activity. After the integration of several sources and techniques, which are mainly based on communicative activities, the teaching of grammar gained a new insight. In the teaching of grammar, technique-resource combinations are often modified to structure-discourse match and if well developed, they can be used effectively for all phases of a grammar lesson. In order to make a grammar lesson effective, beneficial, and interesting a teacher should use some well-developed and fascinating techniques in the classroom. In the present paper, the examples of such integrated sources and techniques -the use of songs, verse, games, and problem solving activities- will be clarified and several examples will be provided. Using Songs and Verse Songs Since the meaning is an important device in teaching grammar, it is important to contextualize any grammar point. Songs are one of the most enchanting and culturally rich resources that can easily be used in language classrooms. Songs offer a change from routine classroom activities. They are precious resources to develop students abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They can also be used to teach a variety of language items such as sentence patterns, vocabulary, pronunciation, rhythm, adjectives, and adverbs. As stated by Lo and Fai Li (1998:8), learning English through songs also provides a non-threatening atmosphere for students, who usually are tense when speaking English in a formal classroom setting.

document.write (''); // -> Fast Facts About Today's Teachers Many of today's teacher are not trained in the subjects they teach One-third of high school math teachers do not even have a college minor in the subject. More than 4 million high school students are taught core academic subjects by teachers with neither a major nor a minor in the field. Students attending high-poverty or high-minority high schools are more than twice as likely as students in low-poverty or low-minority schools to be taught by teachers not certified to teach their subjects. Effective teachers can make a difference The most effective teachers produce as much as six times the learning gains as the least effective teachers. Students who have several effective teachers in a row make dramatic achievement gains, while those who have even two ineffective teachers in a row lose significant ground. Differences in teacher quality account for more than 90 % of the variation in student achievement. When teachers are certified, have advanced degrees and are teaching in their fields, their students make greater gains in every grade and subject, and are less likely to drop out, than students of less prepared teachers. Students who achieve at similar levels in the third grade may be separated by as many as 50 percentile points three years later depending on the quality of their teachers.

16 Key Elements of Effective Teacher Education for Diversity Zeichner (1993) identifies the following key elements for educating teachers for diversity: "Admissions procedures screen students on the basis of cultural sensitivity and a commitment to the education of all students, especially poor students of color who frequently do not experience success in school. Students are helped to develop a clearer sense of their own ethnic and cultural identities. Students are helped to examine their attitudes toward other ethnocultural groups. Students are taught about the dynamics of prejudice and racism and about how to deal with them in the classroom. Students are taught about the dynamics of privilege and economic oppression and about school practices that contribute to the reproduction of societal inequalities. The teacher education curriculum addresses the histories and contributions of various ethnocultural groups. Students are given information about the characteristics and learning styles of various groups and individuals and are taught about the limitations of this information. The teacher education curriculum gives much attention to sociocultural research knowledge about the relationships among language, culture, and learning.

97. Educational Excellence - Teacher Excellence Incentive the Teacher Excellence Incentive Fund to reward teachers for achieving a high level of excellence and to increase the number of effective teachers working in http://www.governor.state.tx.us/priorities/education/teacher

Teacher Excellence Incentive The Problem The current teacher compensation system does not sufficiently reward excellence. Additionally, the newest and most inexperienced teachers are often assigned to schools with the greatest number of children with learning difficulties and low levels of parental involvement. The Goal To create the Teacher Excellence Incentive Fund to reward teachers for achieving a high level of excellence and to increase the number of effective teachers working in qualifying schools. Rewarding excellence also should help attract and retain the most effective teachers and help address the teacher shortage. The Criteria To participate, school districts must devise a district wide program to reward teaching excellence. Awards will be based on individual campus achievement and flow through the district directly to teachers locally selected for their classroom effectiveness and excellence. A district may also devise a program that will reward additional stipends to teachers who choose to teach or are assigned to struggling schools. The Texas Education Agency will administer the Teacher Excellence Incentive program and will ensure 100 percent of administered funds flow directly to teachers. School districts will apply for funds. The Incentive The state will match up to $2,500 per teacher in incentive awards for teacher excellence in the classroom. Teachers can also earn an additional $5,000 from the state if they are assigned or choose to teach in a qualifying school.
