New Year, New Strategy: Self-Reflection for Students

When I was younger and made a mistake, my dad would ask me if I learned anything from it. If I said yes, he would always say that learning something from my mistake was the important part.

New Goals for a New Year

The New Year is a popular time to make resolutions which are often fervently sought after for a few short weeks, and then quickly abandoned. The lack of follow-through can be attributed towards too lofty of a resolve, no direct plan, and no accountability. Due to the short track-life of such reso...

The Insightful Introverted Intuitive

Because Introverted Intuitive pupils focus on the distant future versus what’s happening now or in the past, they may cast a whole new light on topics you delve into with your class. One of my all-time favorite personality type reference books—and one that I’d highly suggest y...

Notes on Notes

When teachers tell their pupils to take notes, what does that really mean?

The Sky is the Limit!

Tired of Conversational English It was noon and the alarm clock played the generic corporate tune that came with the nameless phone that I purchased in the neighborhood Turkcell kiosk at the little mall close to my apartment in Ankara, Turkey.

Living Below Our Means

We knew the job was dangerous when we took it. Dangerous, that is, to our financial security. As we all know teachers don’t get paid enough, considering the level of education and professionalism we possess. Most of us have accepted our relatively low level of compensation as a cost of doing what...

Students Who Fly Under the Radar

Every teacher has had a child in his class who is well-mannered, follows instructions, and completes her schoolwork—yet she is a mediocre student.
