Teaching - December 2006

I am a sophomore in college. I've passed the Praxis I tests. Now I'm at a crossroads, i can either choose to major in math and and teach math by passing the praxis II or major in english and take, I think two praxis II tests for english. I used to enjoy writing a column once a week for a newspaper, and I enjoy reading James Lee Burke, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown etc. My scores on the praxis I tests were higher in math though than they were in english. So, I need some advice, opinions, which route to take. I visited the praxis testing website and looked at the pdf files of practice questions. The math praxis II test looked rather difficult. Which praxis II test is easier to master/pass, the english (which involves critiquing a students' essays etc) and writing.

well, i just wanted to see if anyone here could offer plausible suggestions. i come from a uniformed group (still a student), where we are in charge of training up the juniors, who are at most 3 years younger than us. anyway, these days parents seem to become over-protective of their children, and really, it is hindering us from exposing juniors to the rigour we used to have. and yes, no more coporal punishment like the old days.

can anyone suggest some way which we can effectively train up these juniors? they are getting weak and feeble...

I just got my teaching degree and I am looking for advice! I am wanting to know ANY tips, but especially on classroom management when you do not know the classrom rules or the "punishment" the teacher uses. I am also wanting to know any good books for subs. I have Harry Wong's book, but that isn't for subs. Oh, and I am subbing PK-5. Thanks!

I am a first year middle school teacher trying to figure out how to make things better when I get back to school in January. In college, I was told that bringing out good behavior is better than focusing on the bad things students do. Although this has been true for me to an extent, it does backfire. When I compliment something a student is doing behaviorally (usually a 6th grader), I usually get 2 or 3 other students shouting out that they were doing the same good thing. This happens all the time. (Furthermore, when I call out a student for doing something bad, they bring out someone else doing the same thing, making me look unfair). I can't possibly see everything at one time, and I tell them this. What can I do to continue using a positive approach while calming down the students I didn't recognize at a certain point in time?
