My teacher keeps telling the whole class that an atom's mass number is how many protons and electrons are in it when it should be how many protons and neutrons are in it. I asked her if she meant atomic number but she said no and really meant mass number. I checked on a couple of websites and they all agree with me. My teacher is pretty stubborn as well, when ever we argue(which is alot) She ends it by saying " you can argue with me all you want but my answer is always correct".

This is a science classroom so I'm pretty sure arguments should be embraced.

How can I tell her ? Or am I missing something?

I have been a second grade teacher for about a month and I have NO IDEA HOW TO TEACH.

Intially I tried teaching the kids the way I learned in college, but they can't handle taking notes and listening to a lecture.

People say, "make the class more fun" but I teach five subjects a day. I am already overwhelmed just interpreting the lessons -- how the Hell can I figure out how to modify them so they're fun too?

I did not major in education.

are these signs telling anything?
- unable to make eye contact
- cannot stay in one place for more than one minute
- cannot control temper or language
- speaks very loudly
- aggressive towards mates
- cant seem to enjoy a game even if he has asked eagerly for it, leaves what he's playing with to look for something else, comes back to the original thing also in no time
- bad memory for names
- high artistic skills
- extra weight

can this still be a normal "naughty" child?
if he has ADHD what shall i do other than fighting to put him in the naughty chair every time he breaks a rule " every five minutes or so"?
if there are other signs please let me know

A fellow teacher and I got hired this year. We are both the same age and fresh out of college. We do NOT have contracts - we are permanent subs. So, I hope this lays the foundation for - possibly - why she is so undermindingly competitive. Seems like she takes the reigns before there is an opportunity presented; just to know she took control. She doesn't willingly share any resources - at least with me. Seems as if she wants to buddy up with our OTHER team member (also young and new). I know that somehow she feels threatened by me somehow and is wanting to "one up" me somehow all the time. It's ANNOYING. Not only this, she is more like a friend to the kids than anything else. So, as a new teacher, OF COURSE I'm bothered by the kids who THINK she's just the "coolest." I know that I do my best and now I've just said...screw it..and have been doing my own thing. BUT, it bothers me still that she does this. Is this normal? How do any of you cope with this??

Do you just pretend you believe it and write it down as fact for the marks, or do you say something about it? For example, I don't believe in evolution and yet, the course I'm taking uses that as required facts to know about human history, even though they state it's a theory. Do you think enough theories are fairly represented in classes for people to make a fair decision on truth?

I have an associates of art general education. and a bachelors in University Studies (thats like a general education degree also) I also have a temporary certificate for teaching and I have 5 classes that focus on Early Childhood Education. I have also work and volunteered with early childhood students for more than 9 years. What other requirements should I have to qualify as a early childhood teacher or a kindergarten teacher in different states in america?

I want my fourth grade students to find definitions in their textbooks rather than me writing the definition out for them. Sometimes the definition is written in the text rather than the glossery or dictionary. What is the best way to teach them to find the definition of a word for themselves? Any suggestions would be great. BTW, I am a six week old teacher (in other words, a newbie) so ya'll (sorry, I live in Oklahoma) experienced teachers just pour it on for me.

I am a Biology major and I'm looking to transfer to Howard next fall. I'm getting everything prepared now. I wanted to know about their science department.

As we know, to be an educator, one should be professional, patient, and a sense of humor. How about in the teaching environment? From my point of view, to be a teacher, one should prepare before the class, know how to control classroom atmosphere, keep asking questions, and absorb others teaching experiences.
First, preparing before the class is an important element that all the teachers need to do. We need to realize that students have different learning styles. Some can absorb knowledge quickly through visual aids, others, on the other hand, may prefer exaggerate body language. Second, as a teacher, one should know how to control atmosphere of the classroom. An interesting classroom is made by the teacher. If one knows how to create an interesting class and provide effective learning environment for the students, it can help them acquire knowledge quickly and motivate them to learn.

Any advice for dealing with whistling in class? I regularly substitute teach, and yesterday taught 10th and 11th grade English in a very rough school. Throughout the day, the students kept whistling or giving low whoops -- enough to drive you absolutely nuts. Of course, they kept their heads down so it was impossible to determine who was doing it. As a substitute teacher I don't have the usual recourse the regular teacher has; I can't threaten w/ a referral or a call to their parents. I was able to keep pretty good order in the classroom (a minor miracle) but the whistling persisted. For the most part I ignored it because I knew that saying "stop whistling" or trying to find out who was doing it would only have escalated the problem. Anyone have any creative solutions? Thank you!
