Are You Participating in No Name-Calling Week 2011?
|
|
|
No Name-Calling Week (NNCW) 2011 is set for Jan. 24-28. This event gives you the opportunity to have real conversations with students about how to end bullying and name-calling in your school. Unfortunately, recent events across the country have highlighted the wide-spread problem of bullying.
We've created a folder in our Tips for Teachers Group with lesson plans and activities to help you plan ways to observe this important week with your students. |
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.
The 21st Century Skills Group, for example, explores the question: Should schools be actively teaching 21st century skills, or should they stick to a core curriculum? Come join this Group and tell us what you think. |
