EDUTopia
What is EDUTopia?
EDUTopia is a resource for teachers for the betterment of their students, to encourage active learning. EDUTopia highlights activities, approaches, and practices that work effectively. EDUTopia currently is putting an emphasis on fact based research, assessing quality effectively, as well as effective and creative use of acquired information. They provide a number of articles as well as videos for teachers.
What Is It Good For?
EDUTopia is a great resource when looking for answers to questions you have as a new or even experienced teacher. There are separate categories including: New teacher, Social and emotional learning, Brain based learning, Integrated studies, Project based learning, Technology integration, Comprehensive assessment, and Teacher development.
How Can I/Would I Like To Use It?
Here are a few of the articles I found most helpful:
How Restorative Justice Helps Students Learn - A strategy for discipline that focuses not only on the rule which was broken, but thinks about the student holistically. A strategy which includes community/school members to ensure that any harm done is tackled from each side.
Working to Grow Students' Trust and Respect - A strategy for teachers to create an environment of trust and respect in their classrooms as well as with each individual student. HEART is a helpful acronym to remember. (Honor students' time, talents, and interests. Engage students on their level, Accept student differences, Radiate eagerness to teach students, and Telegraph that learning is fun.
I personally know that I will consider the RJ strategy, and I will most certainly remember HEART when it comes to creating a caring classroom environment.
