Teaching - January 2007

If you are in the teaching profession and/or are working toward your teaching certification, I am more than sure that you have been educated on the impotance of presenting developmentally appropriate material to your students/future students. I am also sure that you would agree with me in saying that it is important for students to learn as much as possible, and that teachers should always have high expectations of their students. With that said, do you think that those expectations can sometimes be a bit too high? Meaning, are you sometimes afraid to introduce new, more indepth, topics to your students (eventhough they seem to be developmentally appropriate in your eyes)?

FYI: I am currently earning my teaching certification, and when I think of how I will plan lessons in the future, sometimes I feel that my ideas for presenting lessons are a tad bit too advanced--particularly for the age group and/or (inner-city) population that I am planning to work with.

I've been working for about 6-months for a state-funded educational organization. I've read government-funded research reports that have stated that this type of educational program is totally worthless. Yet, teachers and staff just keep plugging away as though everything was just fine. I'm thinking of taking the story to the media, but if the government already knows this type of program doesn't work, why would they care to hear about my particular program?

I thought matter makes up everything. My science teacher says that there are some things that aren't made up of matter. What are some of these things? I'm not sure I get what my teacher is trying to say. Some examples/websites explaining would be helpful. Thanks!

I am volunteering in a 3rd grade classroom and I need to prepare something to introduce myself. Any ideas that would be appropriate for this age group? I was thinking of reading a Dr. Seuss book but I don't know if it's the greatest idea. Any input would be appreciated!! :)

I have heard from parents that some teachers are fierce..so children do not dare to ask if something happens or when they have a question. I have heard that some teachers are fierce...some children dread going to their classes. However, if you are not fierce, they climb over your head, they take advantage of you. I have kids telling me, teacher, you are not fierce, that's why we are noisy. "I can be very fierce if I want," I replied. Guess what I heard..
"No, we hate fierce people!"
