Being a teacher is a rewarding job. You are able to make a difference in a child’s life, help them learn and help them find out who they are and what they want to be when they grow up. As a teacher, you also want to provide your students with a curriculum that will help them grow. For The Teachers is a website dedicated to teachers who are looking to enhance curriculum, implement instructional strategies into their classrooms, provide reading skills and lessons. Here are my top reasons why you should consider visiting For The Teachers:
Curriculum Ladders: Curriculum Ladders is a great resource for teachers who are interested in following the NWEA and RIT testing and scores for reading, math and language. Curriculum Ladders focuses on learning goals and skills and provides teachers with lessons and ideas that relate to the standards required for teaching.
Instructional Strategies: Instructional strategies are helpful for a classroom of students with different needs and different academic goals. For the Teachers provides instructional tips and tricks to help teachers implement ideas into the everyday classroom. Some strategies include how to work with students that find the work too easy and need a challenge, how to relate classroom work to the real word, and keeping the material meaningful and with a purpose.
Reading Skills for Big Kids: Reading skills are important for children at a young age as kids are just starting to recognize sounds and words. But what about reading for kids who already know how to read? For the Teacher provides reading lessons and ideas for teachers of older students. The website provides teachers with articles and a step-by-step instruction on implementing specific reading skills into the classroom.
Lesson Ideas: For the Teachers provides lesson plans and ideas for teachers to use in the classroom or archive for later. The Lesson Ideas section provides lessons in Math, Reading and Content Areas according to specific learning levels.
