The ' checklist mentality ' is something very common among teachers and educators. We use checklists a lot in our work and I personally find them very effective in getting things organized. I use them...

@Tera S. Ellis You're right- it is possible that they could become a behavior problem. That makes me think of a child in my classroom- he hasn't been identified in our TAG program; however, I will be recommending him for next year. He tends to distract others and interrupt the learning of others quite possibly because he is completed and not being challenged enough.

Ashley and Tera , thanks for your comments but you are misunderstanding the definition of cognitive load. It doesn't have any thing to do with gifted learners not being stimulated. It has to do with the amount of information any person can handle focusing on at any one time. For instance, if you are trying to do a difficult math problem while listening to a challenging jazz riff or perhaps watch a movie at the same time, the cognitive load of those tasks in combination is going to be excessive. in that situation, you would not be effective at the math problem, because you have increased the cognitive load of the task. You have not increased the difficulty level of the task, in terms of its abstractness or the level of challenge for the mind trying to figure it out, but you have made the conditions less than optimal for that mind to operate on that task.

Hear that, year round school advocates? We NEED to relax, detox, and chill during the holidays!

Number 1 reason why school districts should NOT schedule professional development on the day teachers return to their schools. Usually, teachers are assigned duties as presenters for those sessions which means they have to prepare over their well-deserved holiday breaks. Give teachers a break to relax with their families, read a book and watch movies just for fun!

Good teachers use tools wisely and understand that what works well in one classroom may not elsewhere. They understand that digital technology is changing so rapidly and there are commercial interests at play that it is important to learn skills rather than just use tools blindly. Teachers perform as craftspeople who use their tools wisely and teach with them and through them.

Eighth graders who attended Oklahoma’s universal pre-K program as 4-year-olds had higher math scores, were more likely to enroll in honors classes, and were less likely to repeat a grade than those who didn’t attend, according to new research from Georgetown University.

I know, I know. You have a better name that should be on this map of strange toponyms. Having driven MANY times from San Diego to Utah, I'm kind of partial to Zzyzx, CA...just because. What's you favorite toponym? What value is there is having a strange name for a town? How does a place name contribute to the local sense of place? ![]()

This article is about the funny names that some of the states that some people visit have or just in general. It shows maps and pictures of some of towns. In my opinion one of the funniest one is in Idaho and it is called beer bottle crossing. This relates to world cultural geography because it is talking about states and that's culture.

I shared this with a group of teachers in Nicaragua. They wanted to reorder the list to move "Embrace change" a bit higher. They didn't really understand "positivity" but they did understand leaving personal problems at the door and striving to be encouraging and positive throughout the day. Just goes to show that effective teaching habits are effective teaching habits.

Sometimes the world of educational technology can seem daunting and extremely overwhelming—especially for newcomers. Use this list of teacher tools to “techify” your lessons one step at a time. Each one has the potential to enhance your classroom biome and get students excited about your content.
