How to ensure that your summer planning prepares you for success

May 15, 2018 by Kim Lepre 1 Comment

As another school year winds down, many teachers are envisioning all of the things they want to do (or NOT do) over the summer.

How to keep your students from going insane after finals

May 1, 2018 by Kim Lepre 1 Comment

We’re fast approaching the end of the school year, and for many districts, this means a week of finals/end-of-course exams (EOCs). Since my school is already on a block schedule, we don’t modify the classes at all. However, I know that some non-block schools change to two-hour blocks for each period to allow extra for […]

April 10, 2018 by Kim Lepre 2 Comments

Near the end of the school year, many new teachers ask themselves a simple yet crucial question: Did I make the right decision to go into teaching?

Epic collaboration between students made simple with Google Docs

Google Docs | collaborative learning | students collaborate | working together

I remember “back in the day” when I would do an assignment – be it an essay, math worksheet, science lab, etc. – and if I wanted to have someone proofread it for me, I had to physically give it to them. Or if we were doing a group assignment, we’d have to all copy […]

Does using tech in your teaching make you a better teacher?

March 27, 2018 by Kim Lepre 2 Comments

School kids using computer in classroom at school

Many schools across the world have been given the gift of technology. While tech in classrooms is nothing new (I mean, we had computers back in MY day), the scale and magnitude of its deployment has transformed the way many of us teach.

lesson plans | lesson planning | classroom management | student behavior | how to plan a lesson

As a beginning teacher mentor, I have the privilege of helping our future educators wrap their brains around the many components of teaching. This requires me to get my own brain back into what it felt like to start out – the details I would miss, what I struggled the most with, and the mistakes […]

Why effective lesson planning leads to good classroom management

March 5, 2018 by Kim Lepre 5 Comments

lesson plans | classroom management | teaching tips | student behavior

The average teacher probably handles classroom management and lesson planning as separate entities. I know I do, especially since it seems like once you have your classroom management plan in place, you just have to worry about enforcing it. This leaves open the mental space to tackle everything else involved with teaching. I was recently […]
