idea for tech/rapport:
The message board: need to research the easiest ways on the internet for free message boards. Let students post comments about the class or your web site. Invite them to help you with the technological aspects of it, because they know more than you and it's an easy way to make them feel some mastery over something, which of course builds rapport. You could even sit them down in a lab and make them post something to your board. No note cards to got through. No kids feeling like you know what their handwriting is like. Myteacherpages has an option to post anonymously on a message board. I recommend doing it that way.
About Spare
- Alex Spare
- Littleton, CO, United States
- I'm 37 years old from Albuquerque, NM, although technically my parents moved me from Boston to ABQ when I was two. I live in Littleton, Colorado and have for almost nine years. I'm beginning my tenth year as a high school English teacher, but I've worked with teenagers since I was nineteen. Before getting my high school certification, I worked as a golf course attendant, a liquor store grunt, a summer camp backpacking counselor, a waiter, an ESL teacher, and a stocker for Arizona Iced Tea. I am married to Christina Spare, a totally foxy assistant principal, and I have three brilliant, rambunctious boys: Sam, Henry and William--8, 6, and 5. On the side, I write as much as I can. I just completed co-authoring an ACT prep guide, published by Barron's in April of 2009.
