This We Believe

pp.27-33
This next part of the book discusses some of the major themes that contribute to a strong community in the middle school: a strong leader, a shared vision, committed leaders, courageous leaders, collaborative leaders, professional development and organizational skills. All of these are very important in creating a stable learning environment for middle school students. Teachers must work collaboratively and all share the same vision. It is important as a teacher to always work towards becoming a better educator. This will not only build your professional development but it will also allow you to become a better teacher and educate your students to the best of your ability.

    I really liked this link. It will definitely be a helpful resource for finding articles on middle school which could definitely help both in the field as well as planning units. Thanks!

    Lyzz!
    This website is really cool for middle school stuff. I used it as well in my TWB links. I also use it for Sue's class for our journal reviews :)

    I think that the second link that you added is going to be a really good resource for me in the future. Finding reliable sources for teaching are getting harder and harder to find.

    In the link in this post had a good resource for classroom management. It's really important to have a comfortable environment for students- especially in middle school!

    Your second link has a spot that has a podcast called Today's Middle Level Educator that looks like it would be good to listen to.

    Thanks for the link on building community in middle school link. Community in the middle school is something that is very important, but actually achieving it can be very difficult, so it was nice to have some tips to do that. Thanks!

    Your resources are really good and I think that every resource that we obtain is beneficial to our 'careers'.

    I really like this one. There's an additional link to "The Family Connection", which is something I definitely worry about. Thanks!
