A Thought for the Day...

“We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” - Jesse Owens, Olympic Champion.

See the short motivational video "212 degrees" - perfect for the classroom.

Professional Development

• What makes a great teacher?  This article from the Atlantic Monthly focuses on the K-12 experience, but the attributes of a great teacher apply to us as well.  Take a look! 

• Watch the Benjamin Zander video and "Imagine the Possibilities." http://poptech.com/popcasts/

• Research Project - Pam Forsythe - History Professor

Try this to get your students engaged as soon as they walk into your class:

Go to //yc/adjuncts.aspx to create a crossword puzzle to correspond with chapter readings in your text. Give  students about 15 minutes at the beginning of class to complete either independently or with a partner. This activity fosters reading skills, critical thinking, and forming conclusions. It also encourages students to do their reading ahead of time. Review the answers to the puzzle aloud with students and discuss important concepts and terms.
