Thinking about classrooms and change

Filed Under

Take a minute to think about your 4th Grade classroom… your classroom when you were a student. How about your 10th Grade History classroom? What do you remember about the layout of the classroom, the instructional strategies the teacher used, the technologies that were available to you?

Now take a minute to think about your first year as a teacher. What did your classroom look like? What were considered best-practices in instruction? How did you engage your students?

Thanks to Brian Bettis for sharing his thoughts that were part of "Success from the Start: Foundational Skills for Beginning Teachers" in March at Cullowhee. Brian is the Curriculum Technology Coordinator, Springmore Elementary School in Shelby.We deeply appreciate Brian's efforts and passing along these thoughts and resources.
