I wish there was a book.  I've found the best way is to simply talk to other teachers.  Borrow their ideas and shape them into what will work for you and your class.  It seems like at most staff developments the best you can hope to come away with is a few good ideas.

In all infinite possibilities, there could be one 'design' where we can exist. \nSince you are able to ask this question (from our current 'universe') appearently this particular one is more or less stable. \n\nNow it is the question, do you believe some other universities do exist, or may exist in the future? If you disagree, I would say you may believe everything was designed in this perfect relationship.\n\nThere is a nice fictional book you may wish to read: The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy.\nThis book tells a humoristic, absurdistic story. In this story they also show things about space, time and existance.

If I were a teacher, I'd like to read an essay about schools. The history of them, how they came about, how they compare to todays schools and tests. Maybe who the first teacher was, what they did to make school what it is today.

1. I would build a free center for teenagers with state of the art video games, a bowling alley, baskeball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamonds and an inside and outside olympic size swimming pool, a skating rink for both summer and winter, a ramp for bicycles and one for skating. I would stock it with free fruit, healthy snacks and healthy drinks. I would hire the best people to run it and a lot of counselors who have excellent communication skill to interact with the teens.\n2. I would hire more police to cut down on crime.\n3. I would pay each student from middle to high school a monthly salary. Based on their attendence and grades. When they graduated from high school, they would get a one time graduation check.\n4. I would discard all expired food in the food pantries and restock it will new supplies and include cleaning supplies and laundry detergent etc. I would buy refrigerators and freezers so that people who need food would not have to go without other things like:milk,margarine,cheese,eggs,and meat etc.

Think back to things you have done in your life. Some things maybe closely related to the school/subject, and some things not. Try to think of lessons, accomplishments, failures, friends, places, ...\n\nThen, try to think of some common thread for an introduction and closing.\n\nThen, write. Be yourself. If it fits in with what the school is looking for, it will help. If it doesn't fit, it won't help.

It depends on where you were to build it, since land prices, labor, and even materials may differ in cost. Say you built this boarding house in rural Georgia and wanted 100 acres. Land price could be from $10,000 to $1 million, you'd need 63 rooms for the middle schoolers, 63 quarter houses for the high schoolers and 63 half houses for the college students. Figure at least $10,000 per room and $50,000 per house. That's $630,000 plus $6.4 million; say a total of $7 mil. Of course, that's prior to educational facilities and instructors, insurance, etc, etc. I'd say a reasonable guesstimate would be $10 million to start and $4 mil annual budget for teachers, utilities, supplies, food. This would be a minimum in the U.S.

First, I would increase the number of school days from the current average of ~180 to ~220 making school virtually year round, with 4 - two week breaks between terms. Second, I would reduce class size. No more than 15 students per teacher, K -6. No more than 20, 7th - 12th grade. I would teach more subjects on life skills, and allow more subject specialization in 9th - 12th grade (to train in specific trades).

This is far too big of a topic for Yahoo Answers but I'll give you my thoughts.  Overall:  Keep It Simple\n\n1.  Activities - there seems to be two situations to prepare for - inside disasters (fire, spills, etc.) and outside disasters (weather, earthquakes, etc.).  You can't cover all the scenarios - especially with primary school children - so it has to be a game "Get Out" and another of "Hide and Quiet".  "Get Out" should involve a game of trying to find the quickest way out of parts of the building.  It should also involve two spots on the school grounds where children should go to.  A staff person should be assigned to each spot to gather the children, tend wounds, take names, etc. "Hide and Quiet" means lights out, shades drawn, door locked, and perhaps, children under desks and tables.  Ideally, several times a year, each game should be practiced.\n\n2.  If staffing permits and it is safe, those staff members not directly working with students should be assigned corridors, stair wells, bleachers and locker rooms, etc. to search and secure.\n\n3.  Accidents in schools range from a hurt knee to destruction of the school by bomb, tornado, etc.  I'd fall back on step 1 options for most cases.\n\nEmergencies by nature are chaotic so keeping things simple is important.\n\nMike Honeycutt

Make the dominant peer pressures positive.\nStrongly positive school ethos, engagement of school with pupils lives and experiences, involvement with the local community.\nSchools can be very influencial places that promote strong allegiances.

well, you need to call them and ask their board of ed. if they have openings. Ask questions of all the schools in the area and you will be suprised what you may come up with.

There is not truly one school better than the other.  It is all in how much you want to do this and how much you can achieve in learning.  Best of luck :)

Yes, but it would have to be a small school

If I were a techer....\n I would give my students the most important thing in life: The love of learning. \nThat and I would rally with all the other teachers to do away with No Child Left Behind, or at least change the parts that are hurting our children and not helping.
