With the end of another school year and summer holidays coming up, it’s a time to
relax, recharge and reconnect with family and friends. I will be working on my

TEACHERTOOLS (TEACHERS)

Among the many offerings at Teachertools, I really recommend the Forms
and Letters sections. There are dozens of forms and letters here that any
teacher can use to save time. Grouped into four sections, discipline, academic,
communication and other, these tools will certainly get you organized for
the next school year!

certificates which cover almost every area of teaching. Search out the
best ones for your own classroom, put them into a special file and you’ll
be all set to hand them out to deserving students.

nationwide reading and discussion of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984
this October. Educators and students in high schools, colleges, and
universities, and citizens in libraries, community organizations, and book
discussion groups are invited to read the book and discuss its prophetic nature and what it might teach us about life in the contemporary United States.
The “1984+20” project aims to promote awareness, discussion, and debate
about the key roles of language in politics and culture.
