Because it gives you the opertunity to look at different things you wouldn't experience otherwise. It takes you to whole new worlds.

i think chemistry works as an art, you just have to embrace its complexity. but then again it is all about inquisity and passion for this subject. so when it is any books will do for you. but if the case is not so, i think books with questions and answers would help you better in understanding. or some books wil come with helpful hints and examples to help you understand the concept better. as for me i like books with extra tips and footnotes at the sides, brief history of the founders, and not to forget, nice colourful visuals helps alot for a visual learner like me.\n\nto make it all the more comprehensive, have a mentor to guide you on some tricky subjects and topics. with such interaction you'd find it more easy to absorb the facts, to actually understand and apply it than just to merely memorizing it.\nhave fun with chemistry!!

The benefit of a book is that most likely the topic you are going to choose to do had already been undertaken by another individual, and they usually have some background and insight. Books allow you to go to a primiary source which is more 'accurate' <--andI say this on eggshells usually than secondary sources. On the internet there are way too many sources for just one topic, and often people will give you biased information that is more opinionated that fact based!!!\nGood luck..

I think they you need to balanced in your approach. Phonics are the absolutely necessary when learning to read and write. But that doesn't mean that it's all you teach. Students need an opportunity to read and interact with high quality literature. Reading interesting and relevant material motivates students to want to read more and learn more (at least that's what I think).

How about using some great art-related picture books, like the Last Resort, by J. Patrick Lewis, or Action Jackson, by Jan Greenberg?  What exactly do you mean by teaching reading, anyhow?

There are good teachers and bad teachers, smart ones and, well, the other kind.\n\nOne important thing to understand is the difference between knowing the subject matter and knowing how to teach the subject matter.\n\nThe best teacher I've ever had was not extremely knowledgable, but was excellent at motivating me to learn the material.\n\nOn the contrary, I've had teachers who were at the cutting edge of their field but couldn't connect with the students.\n\nSo the question you should be asking is not whether your teacher is smart, but if your teacher can help you to learn, understand, comprehend, act, synthesize, etc. \n\nOne thing you can count on is that your teacher wants you to succeed, but you will need to put in the effort to make that happen. It will be a while before we can just download an education into our brains. Until then you will have to do what everyone else who wants the benefits of an education has to do. Get to work!

Books are our true friends.

Books like this are intended to be used as textbooks.  The odd problems let students check their own work.  The even problems let teachers check whether the students are learning the material or just copying the answers.\n\nThere are usually enough problems that a student can get a good idea of his or her knowledge by working the odd problems and checking them.\n\nBut, if there don't seem to be enough, there are companies which make study guides which have answers for all the problems.  So, the lack of answers need not be a problem.  (Pun intended.)

Good teaching does not have anything to do with passing or failing a test. Good learning is what students need in order to pass. You can be the best teacher in the world but ultimately it is the student that has the responsibility to get the most he is able to from that teaching.

Teaching is a vocation, not simply a career. \n\nTo be a good teacher, you must be an entertainer.  You must be willing and able to make yourself look a little silly sometimes to capture the interest and attention of your students. \n\nRemember every day of your teaching life that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. \n\nA candle must be burning to light another candle.\n\nMost of the time, most of us, including students and parents, are doing the best they can with what they have, with what they have financially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, etc.  \n\nThere is nothing as unequal and unfair as the equal treatment of unequals.\n\nYou get respect by giving respect.\n\nRemember that for the most part the bright and interested and motivated kids don't really need us much.  They learn and progress and succeed as much in spite of us as because of us.  It is the kids who are struggling who really need us.\n\nRead "Three Letters from Teddy".  Use them as a guide in your own teaching.

To be a *good* teacher is a calling... to want to help children, to educate, esc. Some people who are called and not, well, the summer vacation is attractive. Also, although the pay isn't great, it's stable and in this economy, thats a big plus. Add a good retirement and benifits package and you've got yourself a decent living. \n\nBut, like I said, a lot of people who go into it *just* for those reasons are the kind of teacher that everyone hates.. the mean teacher, the apathetic teacher. The good teacher truly has a calling to do what he/she does.

Do you mean that you need materials to teach students? If so, AGS is a good company. I use many of their books to teach my special ed students daily living skills.
