The Teaching Channel is one of those resources that has sprung up over the past few years and has really begun to shine.  It’s a unique case where teachers can find practical lesson plans, classroom management tools, and pedagogical tips from other teachers in a professional and easy to navigate way.  I’ve yet to be disappointed in anything that Teaching Channel puts out, but with so many high quality videos a teacher with limited time may not know where to start.  Here’s a few of my suggestions:

• All teachers think they have the exit slip concept down, but here’s a neat twist that helps to assess student learning and provides feedback for future lessons.
• This new student-role for groups resource is especially designed for those students who are shy or reluctant when it comes to group work.
• These folders are a simple idea, but can really benefit a classroom.
• This video is about promoting discussion in math using specific “talk moves,” but it can be translated into any number of subjects or grates.
• Not only does this video model how to do a Socratic Seminar, but it also models how to deal with a very delicate issue in an appropriate way in the classroom.
• This video is our absolute favorite, and we’ve posted it to our Facebook account in the past.  It’s all about what to do when a lesson goes wrong and the process of fixing it for the next go around.  It’s a great reminder that even the best teachers have bad lessons and that we can fix our lessons.

Again, this is only a small sampling of what Teaching Channel has to offer.  If you’ve never visited the website, it’s definitely worth checking out!
