So, you watch her test things and make mistakes. When should you jump in and advise her against letting her last period students run out to their cars to grab a notebook? Should you have told her about not locking her door in the evening so the custodians don’t have to fumble with the key?

You see that she’s putting on a brave face as she smiles and shoulders her overstuffed briefcase. She obviously doesn’t want to ask for help or appear unqualified. You’ve been there. We all have. But how do you start that conversation about lending a hand?

Inside the School’s online seminar A Dozen Mentoring Strategies to Help the New Teacher Next Door will review ways fellow teachers can serve as a guide, mentor, role model, friend and confidante to a new teacher. Author Mary C. Clement will present new mentors with concrete and hands-on ideas to help the newly-hired teachers.

Become a parent management expert to reduce your number of negative parent encounters and increase job satisfaction.

Teachers have taken courses in classroom management, but they are often unprepared for the “parent management” part of their jobs. As parents become more demanding, teachers become more stressed, even to the point of leaving the profession. Clear and frequent communication with parents before problems arise is key, and developing a skill set to work with parents can help teachers feel more confident and competent in dealing with this growing aspect of their jobs.

To help you respond to this emerging trend of parent involvement Inside the School has bundled two seminars Dealing with Difficult Parents: Prep Work and Dealing with Difficult Parents: Face-to-Face to offer the greatest value in parent management training.

By watching these seminars, you will gain the professional advantage you need to ensure that parents are working with you to improve each student’s educational experience.

Online Seminar #1: Dealing with Difficult Parents: Prep Work

Online Seminar #2: Dealing with Difficult Parents: Face-to-Face

Why should you order this 2 Part Online Seminar?
Research indicates that about 1/6 of teachers nationwide leave the profession every year (Harvard Graduate School of Education 2005) and parent management is a top reason almost half cite for leaving (Consortium for Policy Research in Education 2005). Parents have become more demanding, and teachers often feel unprepared or unsupported in their interactions with them. Gain the tools you need to avoid difficult situations before they rise and to manage conflict for the situations you cannot avoid.

It’s discouraging when students are constantly off-task, disruptive, and problematic in the classroom.

We want to teach, and students don’t always make it that easy to do so. We all know that feeling.

Discipline with Dignity is an approach to behavior management that offers research-based methods for preventing discipline problems and effective interventions for discipline problems when they occur. Discipline with Dignity’s goal is getting students to want to behave.

We will look at strategies that are focused on the importance of using data to drive decision making, capacity-building leadership, research-based instructional methodology, and ways to involve more stakeholders. We will examine key elements that can help you progress through multiple changes with positive results for diverse populations.

Social networking sites are now mainstream for students and many educators are not willing to make the adjustments to connect with students at the digital level. Do not fight the new world of social networking, but use it as an opportunity to reach out and connect with current and future students. Inside the School’s upcoming online seminar will show you ways to use the many new and exciting educational technologies.

Our students are living in a digital world and it’s our responsibility as educators to prepare them to be successful in that world. That means that we must incorporate digital portfolios, games and simulations, and peer-to-peer technologies to enhance the curriculum and engage our students. But budgets are tight and getting tighter. How do we meet the needs of our 21st century learners on a 20th century budget?

As an educator, you may be already implementing or considering new and innovative ways to include technological opportunities but unfortunately, at a time when funding resources are being depleted. As this perfect E-storm surrounds us, we must think carefully about how we’ll navigate our technology plans to meet the students’ 21st century needs.

Middle school students can present a challenge in terms of attention and behavior. Teachers often struggle to keep students in line and on task. In order for teachers to have control of their classroom, they must understand what issues their students face at this time in their lives and use techniques to get them involved in classroom learning and activities.

Middle School Classroom Management is a 60-minute online seminar that focuses on middle school classroom management strategies designed to help students succeed academically amidst their preoccupations with typical adolescent concerns about physical growth, maturity, and social issues. The strategies are designed to help students connect with your class, stay on task, and feel comfortable expressing their ideas in a safe environment.

The declining graduation rate of black males is a national problem and getting worse. The current high school graduation rate for black males hovers around the 50% mark according to the Open Society Institute’s Campaign for Black Male Achievement. This trend can be reversed with the commitment of educators who can influence these young men and encourage them to succeed.

Inside the School’s online seminar Breaking Barriers: How Teachers Can Help Black Males Achieve presents practical applications educators can use to reach out and help school-aged African-American males succeed.

Presenter Dr. Ivory Toldson will review the findings from national surveys and explain how they can be used as classroom solutions. His research discusses the importance of personal, emotional, social and school factors and how those factors impacts academic success for black males.

Toldson will discuss a first-hand experience an educator had on him as a student and how that teacher steered him on a path to academic success. Toldson will review the importance of building relationships with students and give advice on how to act as a long-term guide to them.

Every teacher has experienced it at one time or another, most likely on a daily basis. When you ask students an open-ended question that requires critical thinking the students aren’t waving their hands in the air or blurting out answers. Instead, they’re looking at you with blank stares. The more you encourage your students to think, the more confused the students become and their stare just intensifies.

You are not alone dealing with the blank stare. It’s not something new either; students have been giving teachers that empty look since teachers began asking them to think for themselves.

Former teacher, professor and author Stanley Pogrow, Ed.D, decided to try to understand why students stare when they are asked to think critically and abstractly. Over 20 years ago he developed the Developing Higher Order Thinking Skills for Educationally Disadvantaged Students program to explore the effects of providing an intensive conversation environment as a substitute for supplemental drill and test prep.

Inside the School is offering a Developing Higher Order Thinking Skills for Educationally Disadvantaged Students seminar to address the blank stare. Presenter Stanley Pogrow, Ed.D, will discuss how to encourage students to think beyond the obvious and move their questions and answers from recall to analysis. His research of 2,600 schools showed that with the right type of engaging and consistent conversation, the blank stares disappear and students can participate in thought-provoking discussions.

In Developing Higher Order Thinking Skills for Educationally Disadvantaged Students you will be able to:

• Learn why students seem to not understand what it means to think or understand how to use and generalize ideas
• Learn to develop thinking skills via key conversation and questioning techniques, and why approaches to develop such skills have historically not been effective with students born into poverty
• What you as a teacher and school can do to overcome the blank stare and develop your students’ ability to spontaneously engage in higher order thinking
• Know how, and under what conditions, thinking skills enhance content learning

Who should attend?

• Teachers
• Teaching Assistants
• Administrators
• Title I Staff
