		<description><![CDATA[One of the most effective tools you have as a teacher is your voice. Think back to your favorite school teachers &#8211; what was it about them that won your heart? Chances are, they knew how to catch your attention, make the subject interesting and inspire you to learn.You can do the same for your students, too. Start each day with a cheerful greeting or a bit of news or trivia that will grab their attention. Why not ask them a thought-provoking question to wake up their brains? What you communicate to your class early on sets the tone for the day ahead. There are many ways you can use your voice as an effective teaching tool. Consider the following: Expression - In the classroom, what you say and how you say it is important. Use an expressive, sincere voice to encourage a student that struggles with new concepts. Quietly affirm someone who has little support or encouragement at home. When the class (or a student) is overly-excited, a calm, steady voice can help diffuse the situation. Express pride in children and groups when they are cooperative and helpful. When special events are on the schedule, share your anticipation through the tone of your voice. Your facial expressions. tone of voice and pitch automatically come into play as you speak. Be expressive as you teach and never hesitate to inject true emotion into your voice. This helps the children learn to be expressive, too. Volume - There&#8217;s just something about ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This guide is not meant to be the one and only way to develop a lesson plan; however, it is going to provide you with at least some good methods to start with. A general overview highlights the key points of creating a useful and working lesson plan. Below is a list of the steps that are usually involved in developing a quality lesson plan as well as a description of what each component should be. They will be listed in 10 of the best points. 1. The first thing that you will have to consider, obviously, is what you want to teach. This should be developed based upon your state or local school standards. You also need to be aware of what grade level you are developing the lesson plan for. Record a time estimate for your lesson plan to help you to better budget your time. Once you have chosen your topic, you can begin choosing how you want to teach the topic in general. If you didn&#8217;t use the state standards to help in developing your topic, you will want to refer to them now to see what specific standards your lesson plan can fulfill. Having your lesson plan properly set up with state standards, helps to prove its worthiness and necessity later. It also helps to assuring that your students are being taught what the state requires. If you are able to blend your lesson plan with the local school standards, record links to those standards ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mumbling voice shuffling feet averted eyes fidgeting fingers on crumpling note cards These are the common elements of a student struggling to give an oral presentation in front of a class of their peers. As oral presentations and public speaking continues to be an important part of the curriculum at all levels, finding a way to ensure students are capable of confidently delivering information in front of audiences is paramount to academic success. Both teachers and students can follow a few guidelines in preparing to deliver oral presentations. 1. Start Simple. On the first day of class, have students stand and introduce themselves to the rest of the class, including something they think is interesting about themselves. This encourages oral communication from the very start, and establishes speaking in public as an expectation of the curriculum. Continue the culture of oral presentation by consistently asking students to stand and face the class when answering simple checking for understanding questions. As the curriculum becomes more interactive and the students feel more relaxed about speaking aloud to the group, teachers can expand upon opportunities for presentation. If two students disagree about a story element, for example, have them stand up before the class and present their sides of the argument in an impromptu debate. By making simple, short and unrehearsed presentations a natural part of the curriculum, students will become more comfortable with the idea of speaking in front of a group. 2. Audience Rules. Establish strict guidelines for the audience from ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When students score high on standardized test, it&#8217;s the school districts way to say, &#8220;Our teachers are the best.&#8221; It&#8217;s a way to evaluate teacher&#8217;s performance more than it is to test the kids, but no one thinks of testing as fun. It&#8217;s a stressful experience for everyone.Teachers are placed under tremendous pressure of making sure that students measure up by the school administration, the parents, the community and the stare, but when a teacher is stressed, she can&#8217;t do her best. She feels responsible for her student&#8217;s scores and even more, so how do we alleviate the stress when it comes to tests? It&#8217;s been my experience that in school, the teacher&#8217;s stressful mood rubs off on the student&#8217;s too, so if testing seems to be nerve wracking, maybe we need to re-evaluate why that is true and make some new testing rules. 1. Let&#8217;s learn to think of testing differently and make it fun for everyone. If we in our society could find a way to evaluate without making a score on a test determine who is the best, it could be that a standardized test won&#8217;t be seen as the ultimate test of each student&#8217;s and teacher&#8217;s worth and value in our schools.When kids are tested throughout the school year, they learn early on that the score determines if he or she will pass the class, so why wouldn&#8217;t they be anxious when it comes to the most dreaded day of the year when the standardized test ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the primary school years, teachers come up with the problem of teaching a child how to do good reading. Teaching how to read is an important and yet often difficult task. Having knowledge of effective reading skill can help teachers not only to educate the students but to prepare them for their career. Some children easily grasp the words and read fluently while some have delayed language grasp. Just because these students read poor, teachers do not ask them to read in class as it annoys the whole class. The reading grades of these students starts to slip, reading comprehension becomes an issue and teachers are often commenting to parents that their child needs help with reading. Teachers and parents need to understand that the reading problem is related to child’s weak auditory skill that needs to be corrected. Reading this article, teachers can gain a good knowledge on how to work on developing an effective reading skill in the child. A Weak Link is Auditory Skill Researchers have been looking inside children&#8217;s brains while they do literacy tasks. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) they discovered that poor readers showed differences in brain activities than those who are literate. Some important brain areas are underactivating. A common weakness is in auditory discrimination skills. For example, many poor readers do not &#8220;hear&#8221; differences in letter sounds. To them, the five short vowels sound almost exactly alike. This causes poor readers to expend more effort for less return. They have ...]]></description>
