I'm posting for a friend. She is the reading intervention teacher at our high school, and has also recently become the ELL teacher. She has no ELL background or training, but the school eliminated the ELL position and just merged the ELL students into the reading intervention class. She has all ranges of ELL, from basically no English to fairly advanced. They didn't give her any...

I'm a high school ELL teacher and I just got a new iPad with Title III funds what iPad apps do you recommend for high school ELLs? I have a new student who came in last week, a 16 year old from Guatemala with zero English- what do you recommend for him?

A friend of mine will be in England in July for two weeks to watch the way the British teach American History for her masters class. While she is there she would like to meet with a secondary History teacher to discuss the curriculum and how a specific teacher uses it. If no one is available to meet she would be willing to skype as well. Does anyone fit the bill or know a friend that might be...

- Grammar: Perfect Verb Tenses

Hi everyone. My 5th grade students have having some trouble with using the correct verb tenses in their writing. I'd like to spend some time teaching some formal lessons on the progressive and perfect verb tenses. We'll review simple verb tenses, then go into progressive, then finish with perfect. I need some inspiration though when it comes to teaching the perfect verb tense (i.e. "have...

I found out last week that I will not be offered a renewal for my contract next year. Which is fine, because I was intending to not renew anyways. But in the discussion with my superintendent, I'm left with some questions on how to proceed and would love your advice to make sure I am making the best decision. As the situation stands, she wants to me to turn in a letter of resignation before ...

OK, folks, here's one I haven't seen addressed. I'd welcome input from the hive mind. I proposed, for my sabbatical project (in the US, and in the Humanities, if that makes a difference), to form focus groups of students who are at various stages of their progress through my university's new general education curriculum, specifically to track their progress through a specific...

I know there will be a lot of IANAL thrown in here, but i figured i might ask some folks who have been there for advice. i am finally... FINALLY... nearing completion of my Master's thesis. It has been a very long haul. As i await my final committee member sign-offs, i am working on the last of my thesis packet in prep for submission. One of the things i am required to submit are permission...

I doubt this has gotten particularly far off-shore, but I thought I'd just express my general fury at what's happening to people working in schools in New Zealand at the moment. Hundreds of teachers are not being paid. I apologise in advance for capslock rage. Short story? 10 staff at my school haven't been paid yet this year* - that's around a third of the staff. It is estimated that 90% of...

Hi! I'm posting this here instead of tosubstitutes, because that community seems to be dead. I hope this is OK!
I have my substitute teacher orientation at the district headquarters tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone had advice on questions to ask--things that I need to know that might not be covered? I've never taught kids before, just adults (although I've worked for ...
