The first years of practice can be a time of great hope and exhilaration -- and fatigue and anxiety. This group is designed to allow new teachers and veterans alike to connect and share that sense of community that is so important in the first years.
Getting Kids to Listen
I am writing an ebook for Funderstanding about how to get kids to listen effectively. This is for educators and parents.
Does anyone have any effective strategies they would like to share?
Thanks,

Listening
Getting students to listen is difficult. Everyone knows this. Focus all your posters towards the front of the room, this way students are encouraged to look forward and be somewhat attentive. This may make your room look awkward (or cool) but thats ok, the feedback that I have received from students has been positive. The classroom is a place where learning takes place, teachers shouldn't get too caught up in the way its decorated.
