Teaching Links
Listed
below are links galore to inspire you and your students ..... and
above all put the fun back into teaching!
Too
often, these days, teachers forget that their work is not supposed to
be that ..... work! Anything that you do in life is supposed to be
enjoyable. So, to put the joy back into your 'work' in these days of
government cutbacks, we have to look at extending ourselves. Extending
yourselves does not necessarily mean extra time!
It is not the amount of time you put into your work that counts, it is
the amount of productive effort!
Often
when you employ new strategies in your work, you give yourself more
opportunity to do other things in the same amount of time! So,
indulge yourself! By making it to this website you are giving
yourself the opportunity of joy in the classroom and in your personal
life! Better still, sign up for FREE and become an
Ed-u-cate Teacher (click here)
and be kept up to date with new links, strategies & also
support if you need it! (school staff only)
Links
Misunderstood Minds
When I
first saw this, I was absolutely gob-smacked! Possibly one of the BEST
websites today ... It actually puts the viewer in the position of
being learning disabled and with attention problems! A MUST
EXPERIENCE! A great site to sit down with a parent, choose the child's
problem area and let them experience what the child is going through.
I hope to one day have this tape for sale on this site, but
unfortunately they don't have it in a format suitable for Australian.
IF you are interested in purchasing this video, e-mail me. If there is
enough interest they may do something about it!

ADD -

The Educator's Guide to Learning Differences
THIS IS TOP OF THE LIST FOR A MUST!!
Are you an

more information about
learning differences? This guide
delivers concise and comprehensible
information about learning disabilities, including helpful
definitions, accurate statistics, the most recent
