Group Spotlight: 21st Century Skills |
|
One of the greatest advantages to social networking is joining Groups
of like-minded peers to collaborate virtually. TeachAde has close to
400 Groups, most of which are open to anyone to join.  21st Century Skills
Does your district have a focused 21st Century Skills curriculum? Is it
vital for students learn these skills in school? Join this Group of
teaching professionals and debate whether schools should teach 21st century skills or
stick to a core curriculum.

How Do You Use TeachAde?
|
|
We recently asked our members: "How do you use TeachAde?""I'm particularly fond of the connectivity of the site. Teachers are
always collaborating on different ways to present information. With our
end-of-course state tests so important, one teacher may have a way to
present a lesson that is far better than the way I've been teaching my
group. TeachAde has a wealth of information if everyone would join,
provide their profile and share their success stories! The groups are
great!" Donna Meyerhoeffer Special Education & Inclusion
Teacher for History and English Staunton River High School Moneta, VA
If you'd like to share how you use TeachAde please drop us a line! Perhaps we'll use your quote in an upcoming eBulletin. |

Online PD:
Differentiated Instruction
|
|
Of course we all know
that "one size fits all" instruction doesn't serve our students well,
but how exactly can we meet the concept of Differentiated Instruction?
Sign up for this online professional development course for a motivating
(yet sensible!) introduction to differentiation of instruction.
In addition to the Differentiated Instruction session, check out
the other online PD programs you can access anytime, anywhere.
