My Teacher Seminar Videos Will Give You Valuable Teaching Strategies!!

The practical side of teaching are words that accurately describe the teacher seminar that I hold every year for student teachers at York University in Toronto.

The students teachers and I discuss (brainstorm) over 20 common scenarios that teachers must deal with throughout the teaching year. Teachers must be able to think on their feet in order to handle these situations quickly and effectively.

Recently I videotaped our discussions of each scenario, so now here's your opportunity to get the benefits of my seminar and hearing my strategies on how to handle these typical situations, as well as the ideas of the student teachers as well.

I believe that it's very important that my visitors have the opportunity to ask their questions, provide their comments and opinions, and talk about their experiences.

I invite other teaching professionals to write about some of the teaching strategies that they have used. Then if I feel that it would be of value to my visitors, I'll be happy to add to my site, giving you credit as well if you wish.
