Teach This! Teaching with lesson plans and ideas that rock 01/02/2013

<ul class="diigo-linkroll"> <li> <p class="diigo-link"> <a href="http://edutechmusings.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-new-years-rant.html">Edutech Musings: A New Years Rant</a> </p> <p class="diigo-description">As some friends and I have been talking on my Facebook fanpage about how much grading and planning we're doing over Winter break, Chris Fancher shared his wish for teachers on the page which relates. While I don't agree that kids are "{products" I do know that I have to spend quite a bit of extra time to have any hope of considering myself a good teacher. It is a thought provoking read challenging us to be more. WE're all getting so much out of Twitter (many of us are) and the off-time things we're doing and sharing, so you might want to think about it and read his post. Chris says: "My wish for 2013 is that the 2 or 3 teachers who read this go out and find someone on their campus who they can get together with outside of "normal" hours.  Then these same teachers need to get on twitter and find a group of teachers who is on twitter at times they are on and are willing to interact and help with plans and ideas.  Then these same teachers need to pick one day a week when they can devote to a twitter chat and start being an active participant. My wish is that every student has a teacher who is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they are receiving the best education available.

A balanced approach to phone interviews

You don't have to make your way to an unfamiliar location and hunt for a parking spot, meet -- and impress --prospective colleagues in the hallways, or figure out an elegant way to hide that spot on your shirt.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">As a result, some job seekers approach <a href="http://www.roberthalf.com/PhoneInterviews" style="background-color: transparent; color: #07519a; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">phone interviews</a> less seriously. That can be a risky move in a job hunt since acing the phone interview is often your ticket to an in-person meeting.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">This article outlines a few guideposts to help you walk the line between overpreparing and not being prepared enough. Stay within these lines, and you'll have a better chance of making it to the next round in the hiring process.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><strong>Be professional ...</strong><br />From the beginning, you must present yourself as polished, considerate and professional. That means greeting the hiring manager with, "Hi, Joanna, this is John Douglas. It's a pleasure to speak with you" as opposed to the kind of casual greeting you reserve for close friends. And if your outgoing phone message is casual or goofy, change it in case the employer's call goes to voice mail.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">Just before the scheduled interview time, disable call waiting and get set up in a distraction-free environment with a strong cell signal or landline connection. Have your <a href="http://www.roberthalf.com/resumes" style="background-color: transparent; color: #07519a; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">résumé</a> and the job listing in front of you. Smile as you talk to give your voice confidence.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">At the end of the call, thank the hiring manager for her time. If she hasn't mentioned the possibility of an in-person interview, ask politely about the next step.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><strong>... But be yourself.</strong><br />Being overly formal can have the opposite of your intended effect. Needlessly officious language can create a barrier between you and the employer. Ideally, you want to find common ground. The same holds true for projecting too much enthusiasm if these feelings don't come naturally for you. It can come across as insincere.   </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">In the likely event that the hiring manager is calling several similarly qualified candidates, he will most remember the one where the conversation was easy and friendly.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><strong>Prepare yourself to answer thoroughly ...</strong><br />Research the company and its current challenges, just as you would for an in-person interview. Swallow your pride and ask a friend to conduct a practice phone interview with you. Ask your friend to prepare <a href="http://www.roberthalf.com/InterviewQuestions" style="background-color: transparent; color: #07519a; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">standard-issue interview questions</a> as well as a curveball or two.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">This dry run can give you invaluable practice talking about yourself while helping to identify weaknesses ranging from the technical ("Your headset sounds terrible") to the substantial ("You seemed evasive about your last job").</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">Afterward, make a list of key talking points that match up with the position's requirements. Keep it handy during your interview to use as a reminder -- but not as a script.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><strong>... But don't overdo it.</strong><br />During in-person interviews, nonverbal prompts make it easier to carry on a natural conversation. You can generally tell when the interviewer wants you to talk and when to wait for the next question.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">That distinction is trickier over the phone; a few seconds of silence can turn you into a radio DJ scrambling to fill dead air. Keep in mind that the interviewer may simply be taking notes, so don't talk just to avoid silence.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><strong>Follow the interviewer's lead ... </strong><br />During the interview, you'll need to pick up on not just the content of the hiring manager's questions but also the tone. Don't be so fixated on your talking points that you miss these cues.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">If the interviewer seems relaxed and open, you can take more time answering the questions. If her tone is matter-of-fact and abrupt, focus on getting your points across quickly and economically.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">In either case, make sure you're listening, not just waiting for your next turn to speak. Asking a salient question in response to something the interviewer has mentioned can demonstrate your ability to think and talk on your feet.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><strong>... But don't lose the thread.</strong><br />The interviewer may establish the tone and structure of the discussion, but it's your responsibility to tell your story -- however briefly -- within those confines. Make sure your answers don't stray too far from how your skills and experience meet the employer's needs.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;">These tips may not be black-and-white, but neither are today's phone interviews. In fact, if you take part in several interview calls, you might find that they bear little resemblance to one another. In some cases, you might even be vastly overprepared after the call. If that's the case, consider your preparation a head start on the next round. Just be sure to get that shirt dry-cleaned first.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.433333396911621px; text-align: left;"><em>Robert Half International is the world's first and largest specialized staffing firm with a global network of more than 350 offices worldwide.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to have you for a teacher. God bless you and happy New Year!"</blockquote><br />How could God have blessed me so much with students who take a minute to know that teachers have feelings too and that we often wonder if all that we give is worth it -- if anyone notices?<br /><br />Just want you all to know that I'm still here. Yesterday was the first day I've felt human in over a month with one of the worst illnesses I can remember having in a long time - largely exacerbated by a very tough schedule this December. This winter break has been a blur interjected with shots and doctor visits, quite literally.<br /><br /><h3>Encourage kids to given genuine thanks...teachers need it</h3>If you have child and they have a teacher who meant something to them - have you thought about mentioning that they might want to pass along a note. I have a tag in evernote that I file all of these "atagirl" comments that I read over when I feel hopeless and like I can't make it any more. Teaching is a high burn out job and we do these things to keep ourselves on track and focused about the main thing...our students.  You'd better love them...or you'll leave them...quite literally.<br /><br /><h3>Give genuine feedback to your students... they need to know they're not a number.</h3>Also, if you would like feedback from students, perhaps you should be giving them feedback as well as this was part of a response I received in response to a personal message I mailed to this student through my class Ning.<br /><br />Today, I needed this, and the fact that it comes from a precious 8th grader that I adore dearly, it means so much more.<br /><br /><h3>As close to perfect as teaching can get</h3>Tears of joy...back to grading and giving good, quality feedback to my students.

how did i do - 2012 goal review

Happy New Year to you! I hope you enjoyed a great holiday with family, friends or the remote. I enjoyed all of the above and truly had a relaxing and enjoyable time off. But the Christmas decorations are put away and the tree is at the curb, so its time to get to work.<br /><br />Before I share my goals for 2013 I thought I'd see how I did with <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-goals.html" target="_blank">my 2012 goals</a>.<br /><br />1. <b>Redo the master bedroom</b>.

I'm happy with the room but you know it's gonna keep evolving.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBiHr2eSj1Z050V4FcIKFJrFdmGxPPMi1YsIO0AqnEXyB25n8KZBMu-eztPai9cwbod_aqAC0RLir1gYjpFB_o-gMVdZBgEaSOz3yedKdKja8h56CT9wnhyphenhyphenDqj8drfMm12Beo1reRFuPqO/s1600/littleblackdoormasterbedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBiHr2eSj1Z050V4FcIKFJrFdmGxPPMi1YsIO0AqnEXyB25n8KZBMu-eztPai9cwbod_aqAC0RLir1gYjpFB_o-gMVdZBgEaSOz3yedKdKja8h56CT9wnhyphenhyphenDqj8drfMm12Beo1reRFuPqO/s400/littleblackdoormasterbedroom.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />2. <b>Repair and redo deck and stairs</b>. I'm on a roll. This one was <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-wear-my-sunglasses-at-night-deck.html" target="_blank">wrapped up in June</a> and talk about a pandora's box of crazy. It was dirty, sweaty and a hell of a lot longer than planned, but we are digging it now and use it more than we ever did.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinarn3Ic7wYZaPrVjWWRElYmClsnCE_aFDHJkxSYPLh9Jp-cpuw5G9vehpruDE7eSRUUuH7YNk-p4eV2zR_eNjCLtYHzotZBHnL6mZoaub_XgbdQBvPT8t1uCYJRs6EuTJAGQXNP3BHCnD/s1600/LBDDeckTable.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinarn3Ic7wYZaPrVjWWRElYmClsnCE_aFDHJkxSYPLh9Jp-cpuw5G9vehpruDE7eSRUUuH7YNk-p4eV2zR_eNjCLtYHzotZBHnL6mZoaub_XgbdQBvPT8t1uCYJRs6EuTJAGQXNP3BHCnD/s400/LBDDeckTable.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br />3. <b>Plant a herb garden</b>. Big fat goose egg on this one. I must have been drunk when I thought of this because the idea that my children would give me enough time to dedicate to a herb garden is laughable. We barely are able to get raking and mowing done. Maybe in a few years. Until then I'll just continue to watch Barefoot Contessa and pretend that's my herb garden.<br /><br />4. <b>Lighting</b>. Well...sort of. I did get a <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/02/no-youre-knob-and-tube.html" target="_blank">new chandelier for the dining room</a>, (which will be moving again soon - stay tuned) but I never got around to the hallway light and the deck got candle sconces rather than electric ones. So maybe 75% complete? I completed the 'light' but not the 'ing'.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzozbHZPPKWua-8SIAhfTAnRjbpZWJacivcBqW_fHmvl6DvXFmC6-rbiIUPz2JCeLJ3ovGX2gNfUMlH5Q7dLCLBemeBrXcGyi7mO3cpHlK-PaKxG7MCtl7LIZ-3YaZSrgf_xucZ_cX1Bw/s1600/littleblackdoordiningroomchandelier.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzozbHZPPKWua-8SIAhfTAnRjbpZWJacivcBqW_fHmvl6DvXFmC6-rbiIUPz2JCeLJ3ovGX2gNfUMlH5Q7dLCLBemeBrXcGyi7mO3cpHlK-PaKxG7MCtl7LIZ-3YaZSrgf_xucZ_cX1Bw/s400/littleblackdoordiningroomchandelier.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />5. <b>Reupholster couch</b>. It wasn't quick, and often not a pretty process, but I'm giving myself a gold star on <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/04/now-you-really-can-take-seat.html" target="_blank">this one</a>. And on top of it all I discovered a new talent that led me to tackle <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/10/cane-chair-makeover.html" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/10/buffalo-soldier.html" target="_blank">this</a>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE5t2xUZGRoSJJKw_JkBfnrW_8c_nrCSq73rve2_p8HZUV-nohs_t4hO5jkuvsjCO7V2WVgsX_6Xz5keuWs8-S4z7fR9hxg_eWyap5vrkRFpUafHbSvbpiaGFeKc4xDeLdqCZFS0vqEelf/s1600/ReupholsteredCouch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE5t2xUZGRoSJJKw_JkBfnrW_8c_nrCSq73rve2_p8HZUV-nohs_t4hO5jkuvsjCO7V2WVgsX_6Xz5keuWs8-S4z7fR9hxg_eWyap5vrkRFpUafHbSvbpiaGFeKc4xDeLdqCZFS0vqEelf/s400/ReupholsteredCouch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />So there you have it. 4 out of 5. I gotta say, this is the best I've ever done sticking to a list. Will I be able to do as well this year? I'll post the list tomorrow and let you be the judge.<br /><br />How about you? Do you make any goals? Have any new year traditions?

Happy New Year to you! I hope you enjoyed a great holiday with family, friends or the remote. I enjoyed all of the above and truly had a relaxing and enjoyable time off. But the Christmas decorations are put away and the tree is at the curb, so its t…
