Keeping up with everything that is going on in education is tough!
One of the best ways I have found to do this is to to reach to the outside educational community through blogs, websites, etc. One of the websites I regularly go to is edutopia.com. It has MANY resources for classroom teachers, administrators, etc. including videos, blogs, lessons, and on and on. Excellent resource!
One of the resources I would like to acquaint you with is the group feature. You can join as many different groups as you would like. There are groups for new teachers, assessment, project based learning, Special Ed., using games, differentiation, arts, music, and drama, literacy, classroom management, etc. Obviously, something for everyone! Within these groups, you will find tips, ideas, questions, and suggestions posted by your peers related to the group topic. I have joined about ten of the groups and have gained a lot of good ideas to use.
Sign up is free......and very worth the effort!
