To introduce technology to your school, first your teachers must be familiar with and want to use it. Identify teachers that are not literate in using PC's and other technology, and use some of what budget you do already have to start sending them to trainings, college courses, etc. Find one teacher who is very interested in technology hardware, and send him/her back to college to learn computer repair, software debugging, etc. That teacher can also be the one who develops and implements a technology class for the students.\n\nApproach Dell, IBM, etc. and ask about their special packages for schools. Most of these companies will sell cheaper, and even donate some things, to schools because kids trained on their brand will prefer it when they buy their own computers. You have a choice in your proposal of asking for 2 or 3 computers for each classroom, or asking for 1 computer per classroom and another extra set for a computer lab. Teachers would go into the lab with their students on a rotating schedule. If you go with the lab, ask for enough computers to cover your largest class size plus a couple extra. Also ask for large, company-sized printers that the computers can be networked with. They are much cheaper on ink than individual printers. Try getting 1 for every 10 or 15 computers to start. Be sure to ask for a basic software program set that includes Powerpoint, Word, etc. \n\nDo community fundraisers, and apply for grants from both local and international companies, to help fund additional technology purchases. Companies doing business in your area will want their future workforce trained appropriately to use technology.\n\nBring in a TV set for each classroom, link them together in an in-school network, and have students use a video camera to put on weekly school news broadcasts. This also allows teachers to show educational videos related to the subjects being taught.\n\nGood, cheap educational programming that teachers can load on their class computers includes Reader Rabbit, Monster Math, Carmen SanDiego series, Amazon Trail, etc. Look around at different sites and see what you can find at a discount price. Move your lesson plans templates to Word, encourage teachers to start using Powerpoint to design in-class presentations, etc. (In a year or two you will want to pick up some Powerpoint projectors, if you don't get them in your initial package).\n\nOnce you have your computers up and running, you will need regular funds set aside each year for repairs, new educational software purchases, and additional staff trainings. Grant writing can seriously help with this.\n\nGood luck!

tell the children that they have to bring their exam papers signed by the parents from home. also you can have pta meetings twice a month. also encourage a suggessition box.\n\n2)tell the parent that what you are teaching is relevant to the syllabus and it will be helpful in the long run. explain to them that it may seem unnecessary now but it is vital to the lesson.

Most districts are actively looking for teachers.  A phone call to some decision maker in HR would be good, then a follow-up with a hand written thank you note.  Course they all have the paperwork you'd need, thats a first.  But dont underestimate a short sincere thank you note.

ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.

I'd approach local schools incase they have updated their resources material recently and have older books to get rid of. Or maybe try freecycle.org - you never know what people might have. Good luck and good on you x

Ask your teacher if your school offers tutoring.  If not, I would contact an organization such as Sylvan Learning Centers.  Their advertisements promise your money back if your results do not improve.  Also remember, practice makes perfect :)

Some great suggestions so far.  See if there is a school or preschool in your area that could use some of that paper - possibly for scrap paper, art projects, etc.  Also check charitable organizations, church groups, etc.   They are often strapped for money and need paper.

Use a big Tupperware container to put it all in. I did that for the 11 year old class and it worked just spiffy.
