We take courses and attend workshops to become better teachers. I don't know about you, but I always felt that there was room for improvement. So, every once in a while, I would set up a tape recorder or video camera in my classroom and record a lesson or two. Taping myself was the best way to see or hear strengths and weaknesses in a private, non-threatening way. It was highly instructive, sometimes startling, and very often funny! Try it - I think you'll find it helpful. ============= IN THIS ISSUE ============= ELECTIONS ============= Here come some teachable "moments": the many and varied pivotal elections taking place on Tuesday, November 5. http://www.teachervision.com/lesson-plans/lesson-6615.html?wtlAC=gsa1002 01,email-t =============== CENTRAL AMERICA =============== Take your class on a journey to Central America!

Our principal this year has agreed to pay for those who use it. She has even taken it to the superintendent and they are considering buying a school-wide -- and maybe a system-wide -- license! This tool has helped our team to cut down on parent conferences to the point that we have almost twice as much planning time as the other teams and less than half the failure rate for our students. Thank you so much for providing this site."
