Plan Effective Lessons 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

All teachers use lesson plans in one form or another. Some teachers merely organize the lesson of the day in their heads. Others jot down a few bullet points about what they plan to do each day. And still others write detailed instructions by using lesson plan templates or guides. Depending on the experience level of the teacher or the complexity of the lesson, any one of these three methods may work. However, creating a detailed written lesson plan can help even the most experienced teacher prepare and present a more effective lesson. High-quality written lesson plans can help one organize and communicate a strategy so that students can reach a stated learning objective.

Create Tests, Rubrics, and More to Assess Student Performance 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

One of the most important jobs a teacher has is measuring the knowledge and understanding of his or her students. Teachers can determine whether a student has grasped the concepts of a lesson in a variety of ways. Some widely used forms of assessment include tests/quizzes, rubrics, checklists, and growth or mastery charts. The type of assessments that one uses in the classroom will determine the range of tools that one will have to aid one when they evaluate the students.

Getting to Know You: Activities for Young Students 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

Teaching is all about borrowing ideas, and the author would give credit if he or she remembered where or from whom they originally came (some ideas actually are the authors), but now these suggestions are of the users too. Each idea can give the user some insight into who that new eager face is when September rolls around. The user can make these activities simple fill-ins that he or she can print and hand out to the students, or the user can create a template that students can fill in by using the computer.

Get Started With Project-Based Learning 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

Project-based learning emphasizes long-term, multidisciplinary assignments and activities that are student centered and focus on real-world problems and issues. The teacher serves more as a facilitator and assigns students tasks that need to be solved by conducting independent or group research. Project-based learning encourages students to think analytically and incorporate current technologies in their assignments. It also encourages students to use inquiry to understand the world around them and construct meaning from their own experiences.

Match Training Tools and Learning Objectives 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

New technologies such as CD-ROMs, digital video, and the Internet have exploded the tool sets that are available to training and development managers. In fact, there are now so many tools available and so much pressure to employ technology-based solutions that it's hard to know which tool is the best one for one's training needs. At the same time, on-the-job training is more important than ever. Studies show that well-trained employees feel more confident in their jobs, demonstrate better time management, seek greater responsibilities, and generate innovative ideas at work. To ensure that one's work force is receiving the most effective training possible, a careful evaluation of learning objectives is essential.

Make Employees Feel Valued 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

How one manages the staff and handle their conflicts and goals directly influences the company climate. That weather report - fair or foul - is broadcast endlessly to customers, vendors, suppliers, and everyone else in the industry. When companies recognize employees by offering tangible rewards, the business becomes more productive and better at retaining talent. In addition, setting policies that make employees want to stick around is cost effective. Besides boosting profits, a stable staff cuts the costs of recruiting and training and avoids downtime and irate customers.

Promote Self-Management in Your Organization 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

Developing a work environment and supervisory culture that promotes self-management helps employees meet new challenges and take responsibility for their own professional development. Self-managing employees also provide benefits for managers: the need for disciplinary intervention is minimized, so human resources professionals have more time for coaching and relationship-building and managers have more time to focus on strategic planning and execution.
