After more than 30 years of teaching, Pat Barrett Dragan indeed knows everything needed to teach the first year of school. And she can teach you, too, with this step-by-step guide to creating a smoothly functioning, literacy-rich primary classroom. Dragan has virtually opened her file drawers and rounded up every detail to get you off to a good start with the three Rs and more. Even veteran teachers or teachers changing grade levels will find loads of helpful information-forms, checklists, activities, copyright-free poems, and reproducibles-all forming a substantive resource bible to keep handy for reference. Most important, Dragan highlights the best teaching and learning strategies culled from years of teaching and studying with the experts. Read Dragan and learn how to: Bond with your new class and create a happy and cohesive classroom community. Help your children develop organizational skills and self control. Inveigle, wangle, and keep children's attention to help them learn. Teach them to have confidence they can read--on the first day of school. Ensure that they learn to read and write well, whatever your reading program. Draw on their innate curiosity to develop their math and problem-solving skills. Use children's photos and artwork to help them practice reading and writing. Integrate children's literature and the arts into all curriculum areas. Work with English language learners and children having little help at home. As Dragan demonstrates, perhaps the most effective strategy for successful teaching is to infuse the school day with joyful learning throughout that magical first year.

Part epistolary memoir, part handbook, Teaching Life reflects on more than three decades of teaching literature and touching the lives of students. Both a reflection on a life in literature and a primer on teaching as a vocation, this soul-stirring work also provides behind-the-scenes stories of many of the authors who have influenced Dale Salwak’s career. Written in response to the sudden death of one of his students, who died tragically in an automobile accident on her way to Salwak’s office to talk over her career plans, Teaching Life is an effort to impart lessons to the next generation of teachers: “It was the suddenness of her death, I think, along with the utter loss of so much potential, which struck me forcibly, and I found myself wondering if anything I had said in class had made a difference in her too-short life or, for that matter, in the lives of any of my students.” By turns analytical, reflective, and exhortatory, Teaching Life unselfconsciously captures the fascination, enlightenment, and sheer joy that literary studies can offer professors and students. It also implicitly speaks to society's prevailing—and disturbing—prejudice against the profession.

with Trip Hedrick, former Iowa State University Men's Swimming Coach; Master Swimming World Record Holder, multi-time National Masters Swimming Champion and world record holder In this 3-part DVD Hedrick shares a progressive system of drills, skills and instruction for teaching and coaching the forward start. Hedrick's drill system can easily be implemented with large numbers of swimmers of varying ability levels. Part 1, Deck Drills, includes a six-drill kneeling dive progression, a three-drill agility progression and an eight-drill standing dive progression. Hedrick then shares a "false dive" series that drills the set up and initial body movement of the track start followed by water entry dives from the deck. All of the deck drills are taught and demonstrated using a 13 & 14-year-old swimmer, followed by large group demonstrations with swimmers of varying ability levels ranging from ages 6 to14. In Part 2, On the Blocks, Hedrick shares individual technique instruction (with demonstration) of three track start techniques, each differing in the set up i.e., body position and arm movement. In Part 3, Relay Take-offs, Hedrick shares the basics for teaching the arm swing step-up relay start with foot placement/sequence variations that include: Two feet back to a one front foot takeoff, two back-two front, and one back-two front. 64 minutes. 2006.

The Teaching Towel & & Lessons 1. ALIGNMENT Place the towel between your feet and the ball. Make sure the right edge of the towel is aligned with the target. Place your feet and body parallel to the left edge of the towel. If your feet are equal distance from the towel you are aligned correctly. Your alignment is the key component for hitting a great shot. 2. STANCE WIDTH You can determine the stance width using the yardstick feature on the teaching towel. & Stance width is a function of your body type and the length of the club you are using. & Use the Number zero 0 on the ruler to determine the center of your stance. & 3. BALL POSITION Depending upon the particular club you are using Driver, Fairway wood, Hybrid, or Iron place a ball opposite the corresponding ball on the towel. & Place your left toe next to the arrow on the teaching towel which designates the left foot position. & This will train your eye to recognize where the ball should be relative to your left foot. 4. BALL FLIGHT Notice in the top right hand corner that there are three basic starting directions for the flight of your ball. & Which one is yours? Straight is ideal, push is next best, and the pull is not a good starting direction. & Watch the direction your ball start and it will tell you about lesson #5 swing path… 5. SWING PATH Notice the swing path in the middle of the towel. To get the feel od the correct path to the hitting aea, hold a club abovr pne of the [aths anf practice moving the club on the same arc as tour club approaches impact. Start by making1o swings to get the feeling anf comfort of an inside to out swing path 6. CLUB FACE The angle of the club face determines the side spin of the ball. & A closed face will make the ball curve left. & A square face produces no curve, and an open face creates a curve to the right. & Watch the flight of the ball, so you can analyze what your club face looked like at impact. 7. ANGLE OF ATTACK This is a great application of the teaching towel. & Place a ball three or four inches in front of the towel and practice making contact with the ball without hitting the towel. & Your divot with an iron should happen after the ball is struck. & Remember, ball first, ground second. 8. BALL POSITION – PUTTING Notice the ball on the putting arc. & Place your golf ball on the towel. Note that the ball is 2 inches forward of the zero 0 on the towel. & Your toes of each foot should be equal on both sides of the Zero 0 . For example: left toe on 6 and right toe on 6. & Go ahead and hit putts training your eye to know where the ball should be placed every time. 9. PUTTING PATH Practice the correct path of the putter using the dotted line. & Notice that the putter travels on an arc. & Path should feel inside to square to inside relative to the target line. & Practice taking continuous strokes with the putter back and through along this arc. & Try this for 1 to 2 minutes to get a feel for the correct path. 10. PUTTING DISTANCE The numbers on the yardstick will give you a reference for distance. & A shorter backswing will create less energy, therefore a shorter roll. & Experiment with different back swing lengths to create the energy on the forward swing needed for the distance required.

"This book is for teachers who have good days and bad and whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts, because they love learners, learning, and the teaching life." Parker J. Palmer [from the Introduction] For many years, Parker Palmer has worked on behalf of teachers and others who choose their vocations for reasons of the heart but may lose heart because of the troubled, sometimes toxic systems in which they work. Hundreds of thousands of readers have benefited from his approach in THE COURAGE TO TEACH, which takes teachers on an inner journey toward reconnecting with themselves, their students, their colleagues, and their vocations, and reclaiming their passion for one of the most challenging and important of human endeavors. This book builds on a simple premise: good teaching cannot be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the teacher. Good teaching takes myriad forms but good teachers share one trait: they are authentically present in the classroom, in community with their students and their subject. They possess "a capacity for connectedness" and are able to weave a complex web of connections between themselves, their subjects, and their students, helping their students weave a world for themselves. The connections made by good teachers are held not in their methods but in their hearts the place where intellect, emotion, spirit, and will converge in the human self supported by the community that emerges among us when we choose to live authentic lives. BONUS: Includes an audio CD featuring a 45-minute conversation between Parker Palmer and his colleagues, Marcy Jackson and Estrus Tucker from the Center for Courage Renewal. They reflect on what they have learned from working with thousands of teachers in their "Courage to Teach" program (www.CourageRenewal.org)and with others who yearn for greater integrity in their professional lives.

This book was written specifically for teachers who are either contemplating retirement or have recently retired, and it is based on two irrefutable facts: (1) Money alone will not guarantee retirement happiness, and (2) Although teachers share many elements of the retirement experience with others, some of their experiences, interests, viewpoints, and perceptions differ from those in other occupations. Based on these assumptions, Life After Teaching is different. First, we went to the experts. I am not referring to the self-proclaimed retirement experts. I am referring to 450 retired teachers (your retirement mentors) who responded to our online survey by sharing their experiences, impressions and advice on retirement. This research is current, unique and exclusive to Life After Teaching, and can be looked upon as an invaluable definitive guide to retiring from teaching. Second, given that the key to retirement happiness is to replace satisfactions lost from work, Life After Teaching includes a self-help workshop to ensure that satisfactions lost from teaching will be replaced in retirement. The workshop is based on more than 20 years experience conducting Life Goal Planning Workshops among thousands of pre and post retirees. Life After Teaching, in short, includes all the main ingredients to ensure that your retirement from teaching will be worthwhile and enjoyable.

"I recommend this book to teachers of any experience. ...It is an easy book to read and the illustrations/diagrams make the points meaningful. In addition, the book has a comprehensive bibliopraphy, for those who wish to read more about any topic in the book." National Association for Staff Development in the Post 16 sector How can we make our teaching of adults more effective? In the 3rd edition of this bestselling text, Alan Rogers draws upon a range of recent work on adult lifelong learning to address this key question, by looking at what is distinctive about adult learning and teaching. Based on nearly 40 years of practical experience in a variety of contexts in the UK and overseas, the book discusses what it is that makes helping adults to learn different from teaching younger students. It is concerned with both basic principles and useful hints for teachers and, as such, it will be of value to teachers and programme organisers, to students on adult education courses, to policy makers and to administrators. The emphasis throughout is on the practice of teaching through greater understanding of what it is that we are doing - and the author speaks with involvement and from experience. There is much that is new in this revised edition. It provides a comprehensive and up to date handbook for students and practitioners with important insights into contemporary understandings of how adults learn both formally and informally, and how they can be helped to learn. Its overall theme - that of making the natural and largely subconscious learning which all adults do both more conscious and more effective - resonates with current thinking and has received much support from the growth of interest in adult learning outside formal learning situations. An invaluable resource for lecturers and trainers, this book will also appeal to those such as health visitors and clergy who are primarily engaged in other activities. (20030401)
