Professional Development and
Internet
- Instructional
Development
-
-
- It's time to update your teaching
through professional development in the
area of instructional development.
Regardless of whether you've been teaching
for five months, five years, or fifty
years, you can always use some fresh
ideas. Explore new teaching ideas, expand
your lesson plans, incorporate educational
television resources, and visual resources
into your "bag of teaching
strategies".
|
- Teacher Resources
- There are many teacher resources including general
sites, subject area resources, and teacher
guides.

- Lesson Plans
- If you're looking for something specific. Do a
search for subject area lessons and grade level
lessons. You can find both on and off computer
activities, thematic units, and activity ideas. Look
for general lesson planning sites, State Department of
Education resources, materials from Regional Labs,
Grant Projects, Schools of Teacher Education projects,
and School District sites.
Why reinvent the wheel? Use lesson planning sites.
If you don't find what you need, use a search engine
and try searching for a topic, book title, or software
title + the words lessons, tips and tutorials, student
projects, and./or grade K, 1, 2, 3, 4
That's
how I found this great K-3 unit site: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/9893/units.html
