I love teaching. I love thinking about it, talking about it, and the
classroom time itself! This is my website about elementary education. I used
to be an elementary school teacher and a college instructor,
so I hope to add content that will be helpful both to current educators and
to teacher-leaders. With your encouragement, this site will
continue to be a resource, especially for new teachers in low-income schools.
This website is my way of saying "Thank you!" to all the educators who have made my life easier. Enjoy!

I Have an Idea- 9-17-06
So all of you who are longtime Teach-and-Learn friends have heard me talk
about upgrading this site. I think I've figured out a way to do it.
First of all, the sheer number of pages here made it impossible to do a
one-shot rebuild somewhere else. So for the past year I've been
tinkering with CMSes (when I wasn't studying, which wasn't often!) and I
think I've got it, now.
Introducing the brand new
TeachersCoach.net . A site, especially for new teachers, where
you can get some virtual coaching!
The nice thing about having it as a blog for teachers is that you all can
post comments, and that it will be easier for me to update. So far
I've moved and revised most of the Reading section, so check out
TeachersCoach.net/Reading .
I've even added more info about teaching reading. I'm still working on figuring out an easy way to set up downloads, though,
so those are still
here.
In addition, the site is being sponsored through Google Adsense, hopefully
that will help keep my website costs within my grad student budget...
From the table of contents you can see that it's pretty ambitious, but
classes start Monday so it may take awhile for the outline to be filled in.
In the meantime, enjoy, visit our sponsors, and post comments!
9/17/06 pm UPDATE: I just found out that my host is dealing with database problems.
So getting to the reading page was taking a really long time. I apologize especially because today is Sunday
and new teachers may be feeling nervous enough as it is ("you mean, I have to go back
?!").
Here's a backup: teacherscoachreading.htm
.

Happy First Week of School!-9-7-06
This summer I had an opportunity to help train 87 wonderful beginning
teachers. Thus, September 5th was a special day - the first day of
school for NYC public school teachers, including the teachers I worked with
this summer. Congratulations, teachers!
A few updates:
- My new professional blog is up and running at
AyanaKee.net. Come on by!
- I'm moving some of the pages from here to there, particularly those
that are about my writing and research. For updates on info that's
here, I'll link to there (like
http://ayanakee.net/nyc_learning_standards), and the temporary "blog
dot teach and learn" site will come down.
- Thank you to Ms. B for the question she emailed me about assessment.
I've added info at For_Word_Study.
- This site logged about 1,000 visitors in August! Hello,
everyone, including those of you who found us
through
www.SitesforTeachers.com...
Happy Teaching!

Hello, from Spring Break!- 3-27-06
Hello, everybody! I've missed you since I started grad school; but
studying education full-time has been amazing. I'm writing you from an
inspiring conference about alternative teacher certification, put on by the
National Association for Alternative Certification,
www.alt-teachercert.org.
So since beginning grad school, my life has been crazy-busy. In the bits
of time I was able to squeeze in, I successfully transferred this site to a
new, and better, hosting service. Unfortunately, my contact list email
account didn't transfer- so if you tried to join the contact list this
school year, I didn't get your info. Email me though, if you want to
be on it!
Also, off and on, I've tried to learn enough programming to change this
site from html\css to more of a content management approach. After
trying a bunch of different formats, I've concluded that the conversion is
just too complicated- in large part because of the OVER 100 PAGES, MANY WITH
MULTIPLE SECTIONS, FULL OF ADVICE AND DOWNLOADS on this site!!
I've really enjoyed building this site over the past two years, and
having a chance to communicate with all of you. I will be building
another site to reflect my new 'job' as a researcher-in-training, so I won't
be updating this site regularly. But I'll definitely keep
www.Teach-and-Learn.org on the
web as long as teachers continue to visit. (Hopefully, that will be a
long time!) As soon as I have a new site, I'll let y'all know.
In the meantime, thank you, and...
Happy Teaching!
