TEACHER! TEACHER! TEACHER!

Teaching, like any other job, requires lots of practice and preparation. Teachers are also students and should always look for ways to improve themselves and their craft. There are several ways teachers can sharpen their skills. Reading about teaching techniques and advice from other teachers is a great way to start. Observing other teachers may lead you to some new ideas as well. Below are some reading materials that teachers may find useful in their quest to be a better educator. A positive attitude, sufficient preparation, and a little patience go a long way in the classroom.
