A good article about why teachers should bot shy away from project based learning and using standardized tests. It gives good examples such as using released test questions in a PBL activity.

Common Core
Article here
With Common Core coming to the state of Michigan and elsewhere across the United States, I found this article to be helpful for thinking about next year. It provides good tips on how to use the Common Core and links to use in your classroom, I personally love rubistar4teachers.org. My district has been pushing informational reading in the classroom and it is something I am going to try and incorporate more of next year!

End of Year
Article Here
Some really good tips for teachers who are about to embark on summer break. I always wanted to learn a second language (have very basic understanding of some Spanish) and maybe after my master's classes are over I will attempt it!

Supplies
Article Here
My wife and I are both teachers and having enough supplies is always an issue, whether it is colored pencils, tissue, pencils, clorox wipes, and so much more and how much of our budget should go to our classrooms. Now that we became first time parents and thankfully it will be awhile before our son starts school, it is always nice to think about donation to your child's classroom.

Grading

When reading this article about grading it hit home on a lot of things that I do in my classroom. For example, points for attempt and completion, I always make sure to give my students some points if they attempt an assignment. I also try to keep my classroom up to date, talking about what is going on in the world and to let my students ask questions that they may not feel comfortable asking elsewhere.

Public blogging
Article Here
A decent read about if we should publish our blogs for the public to see. I would have no problems of my students or their parents reading my blog. Hopefully they would see some of the articles I posted and I could get a "thank you."
