teacher

Howdy all, At Claus's suggestion, I decided to start this thread to pose a few questions concerning a proposed "unofficial" workshop at TAM6. There seem to be a decent number of teachers on these boards who want to some kind of explicit teacher-oriented workshop at TAM6; however, due to time...

Howdy all, I just wanted to let everyone know that Athon and I have got a thread going on over at the "The Amaz!ng Meeting! and other Skeptical Events" forum. We're looking to get people interested in getting involved in a workshop at TAM6 for educators. Here's the link...

Howdy, I know that when I was at TAM4 there were some workshops on various topics. I was wondering how one goes about applying to host a workshop, set it up, etc. I ask because of something I heard from the folks at Skeptics Guide to the Universe recently, namely that they're interested in...

Anyone see this yet? (If already posted in the Forum, my apologies....) http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007709220333

Wasn't sure if this should have been here, or in the Education section, so I took a gamble. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/osceola/orl-honkerfired1307sep13,0,5116664.story

Or rather conspiracy vids of a definete better variety than what Do-Over is trying to sell. One of my teachers (insert long, boring story about a pro working in the tv buisness but wanting the paperwork to prove it here if you need an explanation) is a collector of conspiracies. Let it be said...

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_headline=no-santa-teacher-is-sacked-&method=full&objectid=18242422&siteid=66633-name_page.html Is there any justification to this at all?

www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1109teacher09-ON.html Kudos to Kristin. As she said: "Teachers have the paramount responsibility to teach their students how to learn and how to think," said Bourguet, who teaches ninth grade integrated science. A small step in the right direction...

Is it art? Teacher strips in class POSTED: 4:06 a.m. EDT, September 28, 2006 BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- A Chinese culture ministry official has denounced a university professor who stripped naked in front of students and teachers during an art class, a Chinese newspaper reported on Tuesday...

And a Chinese flag, too. It's against the law, you know. Even if it is a geography class...

Now before I start this story, I want to make it clear to everyone that I go to a Catholic high school which of course a private organization. This means they can fire anyone for pretty much anything, which means there probably is'nt any legal action to to taken here. This does not mean there...

I just got the high school newsletter from Keene High school. They announced the winner of the Outstanding Educator Award! Wow, the best teacher at the school! There is one quote from her. This is it.... "Being an educator gives me the responsibility to help people learn something new...

Today I was walking through a bar where they had a television off to the side corner (on, but with the sound turned down). As I passed by I glanced up to see the frowny face of Nancy Grace moving her lips above the caption/title "Day 2 of Missing Teacher." My first thought: Day 2? Somebody goes...

My mom teaches elementary school. Her district bought 30G iPod Photo's for all the teachers. So my mom asks me, "what am I supposed to do with this?" I explained how mp3s work. She already knows about digital photography. I basically told her that she could think of it as a 30G HD that she...

This is quite possibly the stupidest example of politically correctness to come in quite awhile. :rolleyes:

I have now been unemployed just over a year and I am thinking of doing teacher training. Any 'active' teachers here? any hints or is it worth doing? I will be applying for a UK PGCE in a science based subject area.
