My Favorite Teacher Websites

As a teacher I was always looking for new and fresh ideas that I could implement in the classroom. There are several websites that give helpful information. As a childcare director I often stare my teachers to these sites for information on classroom management, lesson planning, activities, and teaching tips.

There are many helpful links on the website, however the link I find intriguing is the Teacher Preparation link. The information that is listed under this link will help any teacher create an effective classroom. The link provides information on behavior management, organization tips, learning centers, and parent involvement ideas.
