Developing High Quality Professional Development Topics {PD, in-services}
We’ve all attended boring teacher in-services. It’s an unfortunate expectation in education that professional development is tedious, boring, and so full of theory and impracticality that there is no way you will ever use the information that is presented – that is, assuming you stayed awake through it all.
These planning tools are designed to help a professional development provider craft a workshop that is relevant, engaging, and useful for the attendee. Use one, or use them all to help frame

Multi-Skill Center Planners {Differentiation, Scaffold}
Not all children come equipped with equal abilities. Many times, educators have students in their classrooms with skill levels that can vary two or even more grade levels. In family child care settings, or afterschool programs children may be several years apart but exploring the same topic. Careful planning can allow you to outline scaffolded instruction and layer objectives and competencies. This planner allows you to break down a center topic with objectives, materials, and activities on th

How I Learned it Log {Metacognition, Tracking, Goal Setting, Strategy Use}
This worksheet puts students in control of their metacognitive processes. Use this form to periodically “check-in” with your students about what they are learning. In my middle-school classroom, we did this at the end of every week. I asked the students to think of one thing that they learned over the course of the week, and then write about how they learned it.

Preparing for a Substitute Teacher
Let’s face it, even the most dedicated, passionate teachers need a day off now and then. Sometimes, it’s a planned day off to attend professional development, or maybe even a much needed massage. Other times, you wake up ill and unable to get out of bed. Whatever the reason, you need a substitute teacher to cover your class.
Having a sub-folder provides the person who is in charge of your class while you are out with resources and help to make their day go better. You want to make the change e
