Getting Kids to Read - Ten Terrific Tips
Teaching kids to read opens the world to them. They can go anywhere and do anything through books.

Implement these few simple ideas and your kids will be engrossed in a good bok before you know it. Read to Them Kids love being read aloud to. Cuddling up on the couch with a goo

Single Gender Education--Administrators, take a lesson
  Let’s take a lesson from the results of the single sex California Pilot program or even from the ill-fated attempt by Georgia’s Greene County to implement a single sex initiative.  Single sex implementation without knowledge of legal mandates, without full by-in from educators involved and with adequate professional development is doomed to failure.

There Is Strength In A Herd
I once was asked to speak to a group of teenage boys about the importance of families. I am a high school religion teacher and often speak to teens. But this assignment made me nervous because I knew it was a topic the boys weren't excited to hear. Minutes before speaking I had an unusual experience. A visual image came to my mind as though someone had turned on a television set in my brain. I clearly saw a scene you might see on the Discovery Channel -- it was a lion scattering a h

Why We Need a Teacher Liberation Front
Here’s a modest proposal: teachers should recall that their first loyalty is to children and parents, not the elite educators who manage the system. As I’ll show, these people are often indifferent to the misery they cause, and that's why we need a Teacher Liberation Front: In 1944 Life magazine reported that "Millions of children in the U.S. suffer from dyslexia." This was a phony epidemic created almost entirely by Whole Word. Did the educators pushi

Builder Boards, a playhouse kids can build themselves
Builder BoardsA Playhouse Kids build themselves As a builder and newly minted preschool teacher I found children loved activities I was able to create from the world of tools, building and fixing. We took apart VCR’s, patched bike tires, put faucets, flashlights and locks together and made things from wood. One day during this “shop” class I was watching kids play with Lincoln Logs and, for no apparent reason, thought, “wouldn’t it be cool if kids could build their own playh

Dear teacher, what is your goal?
Dearest teacher , Hello! Do you know my name? I always think my name is unique. Is it in your notebook? Do you have notes about my family background?I have a great family,surely you have one,too. Do you know our family culture and bits and pieces of my heritage that is a strong influence in the way I am? Are you familiar with my family traditions? Are you even interested in some? By the way teacher, do you know what community I come from? Do you know what the&n

If you can't handle being threatened by a child, maybe you shouldn't be a teacher.
The sad fact is this has become the norm for many parents who would rather criticize their child's teacher than admit that their own child is in anyway wrong. Mr. Kaye looked at the computer screen. The time read 10:25. If this class was going to be dismissed on time, he was going to have to get moving and minimize the distractions. The class had over ten pages scheduled to read aloud, as part of the curriculum for today. Still the class continued to yammer, as thou

Parents, Are You Listening or Lecturing to Your Kids? Five Tips to Help You Listen
Seattle, WA – The knowledge that our children are safe, happy and emotionally sound is one of our greatest concerns. If they were being traumatized by something at school or, even worse, the attentions of a predator, we would want to be the first to know. The only way we can truly be sure that they are all right, or if something is troubling them, is if they feel they can confide in us on a person-to-person basis. But are we actually listening to them as equals, or are we listening

Solar Energy with Kids
Solar Energy with Kids Back in 1970, thanks to the Whole Earth Catalog, I discovered Farrington Daniel’s book Direct Use Of the Sun’s Energy which was first published in1964. It not only recounted solar energy history about turn of the century hot water heaters and distillation plants, but told how to make solar ovens, cookers and hot water heaters. I was worried about the greenhouse effect so it captured my imagination. I remember running down to the thrift store to buy an umbre

Phonics vs. Whole Word: Excellent New Book Explains A Lot
I have been studying the Reading Wars (phonics vs. Whole Word) for several years. The crime mystery of the century, if you ask me. One thing that makes research difficult is that educators in the USA slip around in secrecy. Remember, they’re embracing philosophies, and promoting policies, that nobody ever voted on or even discussed in public. If you look back over the last 100 years, you’ll see a sludge of bad ideas that seem to bob in on the tide. John Dewey set the tone around

Take-It-Apart
One of the most rewarding activities I’ve done with young children is taking things apart. Together we have disassemble flashlights, record players, vacuum cleaners, faucets, blenders, drills, VCRS, drills and lawn mower engines--almost everything except television sets, which are quite dangerous. Little did I realize that what began as an attempt to entertain my son would evolve into teaching a “shop class” at Montessori school and woodworking for the local parks department.
