Teaching Outsider: January 2011
http://teachingtimmer.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 13, 2011. Teaching New Year's Resolution? Teaching is indeed a tough job (I submit our high rate of quitting as evidence - half of teachers quit within their first 5 years of teaching, according to the Washington Post. I expect the more deviant kids to question everything I do, especially in the first few weeks of this. However, I also expect my content to be meaningful enough to be worth their time. I wonder if the average high school teacher would be willing to do this. Http:/ geekaca...

Teaching Outsider: Breaks.
http://teachingtimmer.blogspot.com/2011/01/breaks.html
Sunday, January 2, 2011. Teaching is a tough job.and to those that chide me for the short hours and for all the time off I get, I can usually simply ask if they would like to do my job. This usually settles the point. That, or, I mention my paycheck. Otherwise, we would just burn out and fade away. January 3, 2011 at 6:59 AM. An interesting new take on MacArthur. January 15, 2011 at 9:22 AM. I usually mumble something about lesson planning over the summer - Ive never tried the would you like my job?

Teaching Outsider: Teaching is an interesting job...
http://teachingtimmer.blogspot.com/2010/11/teaching-is-interesting-job.html
Friday, November 12, 2010. Teaching is an interesting job. I teach high school social studies. I enjoy doing it, and I'm guessing I'll be at it for a long time. I think I'm good at it, but I am not exactly sure.I'm not convinced one can ever be sure. This blog is not an attempt to show the world how great I am or to impart great wisdom upon my colleagues. It is simply my attempt at finding out what kind of teacher I am, and how I can be better. November 22, 2010 at 8:57 AM. Dear Mr. Timmer,. If we just g...

Friday, November 12, 2010. In nearly every session I attended, at least one person would raise their hand and ask: “What standard does this cover? 8221; That all being said, I found a new hero in a presenter today who when confronted with that very question answered: “Probably not very well, but I don’t think that matters.”. 8221; mentality. This rigidity will not benefit our students when lessons must be adapted for every class we teach. November 13, 2010 at 8:41 AM. November 22, 2010 at 9:05 AM. Althou...

Teaching Outsider: Political Stances as a History Teacher
http://teachingtimmer.blogspot.com/2011/01/political-stances-as-history-teacher.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. Political Stances as a History Teacher. Anyway, the point is that while we all have our own political opinions on a variety of issues, there is real danger in attempting to indoctrinate our children into our own opinions rather than giving them the tools to make their own informed decisions. If we are so confident in our opinions, wouldn't they hold up to the scrutiny of the next generation? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Too many blogs. Too little brain.
