Three Differences Between Teaching and AdministrationTime – Student Contact - Scope Advice for Budding Teachers: Five questions to Consider Taming the Three TsThought, Temper and Tongue? Noted educator, Haim Ginott said it best: "I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my personal approach that creates the climate. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized."High School Resources, page 3Earth DayEarth Day is in April each year &History of Earth Day &Tool Kit Add your favorite Earth Day Links ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2016 CalendarMake sure your Safety Plan includes all special needs students306705065913000“Whatever Emergency Plan you choose, make sure it includes provisions for your special needs students and an accurate attendance accounting so you know if any missing students are really absent and not still in the building.?
