BRAINS ARE FUN
http://www.brainsarefun.com/index.html

Brainsarefun is a website that grew out of the personal experience of teacher Rory Donaldson in dealing with literally thousands of parents, teachers and school administrators -- all of whom have asked, in one way or another, the same two questions:

"What can we do with students who are failing?" and "How can our school get better results?"

Rory Donaldson’s philosophy of education is as follows: “Our children must master many skills, but always essential are the fundamentals: reading, writing, listening, speaking, information organization and math -- without these basic skills there is very little room at the table. Our children must also learn the three essential behaviors of success: how to start on time, stay on task, complete their assignments.

Mastering these skills and behaviors, unifying parents and children, making the right choices, this is what Brainsarefun is all about.
I will not ask you to sign up for anything. Everything on this site is free. You will never need to contact me or pay me a dime. I have put it all right here for the taking.”

The site is packed with information on how to improve a child’s success with homework and school, how to accelerate learning in the classroom, improving reading ability, improving behaviour, improving listening. 

There are also pages of support material for teachers and parents on basic teaching techniques, how to run a well-managed classroom, and blank forms for contracts.

Whatever your teaching philosophy, I highly recommend taking the time to look at this site and picking up some ideas that might work with your teaching style and students.
