Celebrate Geography Awareness Week (November 16-22)
Geography lessons can make a "world" of difference in students' knowledge of the world and in their test scores. That's because geography is multidisciplinary by nature. Our archive presents geography lessons that teach geography as well as math, language, and cultural literacy. Included: Dozens of lessons for Geography Awareness Week. http://www.educationworld.com/soc_sci/geography/index.shtml

Bullying Awareness Week (November 16-22)
For many years, bullying was seen as a necessary evil -- an unpleasant, but unavoidable, rite of childhood. Ignore it, we thought, and it would go away. The problem hasn't gone away, though, and educators can’t ignore it. Included: Ten special activities for Bullying Awareness Week (November 16-22) -- activities for teaching kids about empathy, anger management, and effective conflict resolution. http://www.educationworld.com/a_special/bully.shtml

This practical book can help not only first-year teachers, but also established professionals, with eminently useful ideas for classroom management, using technology, handling parent conferences, and many other topics. Especially handy for the early-career teacher are sections on teaching in rural and urban settings, education issues, and first day / first week / first month ideas. Click to learn more or to purchase this book.
John Dewey's 1916 book on the interrelationship between education and democracy is as important, as it approaches its centennial, as it was when it was first hailed as a master work. The modern reader of education books will find the sweep and clarity of Dewey's approach to be a refreshing break from the highly specialized and jargon-filled books being churned out today. With no hesitancy, Dewey declares his topics to include, "The Significance of Geography and History," "Educational Values," "Theories of Knowledge," and "Theories of Morals." An essential text for the complete education library! Click to learn more or to purchase this book.
