Seating Chart on Screen
From C. Sanders (cocoherb@tds.net):
“A colleague gave me this great idea for seating charts. She makes a chart on the computer and enters student names. She projects this chart onto a screen so that students can see it clearly when they enter the room. (Those teachers with less technology can make a transparency and write in the names with Vis-a-Vis markers.) It's easy for all to see at once, and the names can be changed if a new seating arrangement is needed. All the teacher has to do is put it on the screen, and kids will quickly find their new places when they enter the room.”
Power Teaching
From Kate (applekat7@aol.com):
“Check out Power Teaching on the Web. For kids of all ages, this teaching method is a great way to get their attention and help them to help you. This site provides many classroom management ideas and videos. Also, they provide workshops that are free to teachers! These ideas really work!”
Question of the Week: Classroom Set Up
From the Works4Me Worker Bees:
“When considering your classroom set up and student/teacher desk arrangement, what has worked for you? Which arrangements failed miserably? What advice do you have for your peers while they are considering what to put where?”

Peer Mentoring Club
Heard Last Week in the Works4Me Lounge:
“My (Caucasian) son wants to create a club with a friend, who is Asian, to help new Asian students feel fully integrated in our large (3,000) high school. Currently, Asian students only sit with other Asian peers. His buddy felt that these students are missing out because they are secluded. Besides making this club similar to a peer-mentoring club, do you have suggestions? Has this type of club been done at your school?”
