The Teacher Arsenal

I am always on the lookout for teacher tips and tools that help to make a challenging job a little easier. Sometimes these are somewhat unconventional things that even make me chuckle a little at the fact that I use them.

Mentally Preparing to Return to School

August is here and with it comes a wonderful sense of anticipation, and perhaps a touch or two of fear and dread. All of these feelings are completely normal and can be used constructively if they are channeled and directed to profit our preparations.

Beginnings: The First Day

Students and teachers alike anticipate the first day of school. It is a day of excitement, nervousness, newness, uncertainty, and expectation. The first day will set the tone for the year. As teachers we want to use this to our advantage and start things off well. We want to be ready for a productive term ahead.

Welcome to School!

“Welcome to first grade! I’m glad you are in my class!” I look around at the bright-eyed students sitting expectantly at their desks. Most of them are happy to be at school; one or two children may feel a bit apprehensive. I am looking forward to the new year!

The effectiveness of our schools depends significantly on the vision and experience of our teachers. At Teachers Conference, teachers take a step back from the day-to-day practices of school and focus on personal, spiritual, and professional development and refreshment. We offer the event to strengthen their vision and long-term commitments to building God honoring, Kingdom-oriented schools. Our annual themes focus on practices and enrichment for long-term teachers*. Teachers Conference features main sessions, breakout sessions, and space for reflection or networking with other teachers.
