'He who opens a school door, closes a prison.' ~ Victor Hugo
It's that time again!
Teachers everywhere are gearing up for a new school year. We’re thinking about ways to engage students, create helpful learning environments and improve student learning.
We are also looking for quality resources that will help to achieve these outcomes. Well, if you are a teacher, look no further!
You are going to love this FREE downloadable eBook compiled by the thoughtful, creative, and very hardworking teacher, Laura Bright!
Don’t be misled by the cover ~ even though the teaching resources are created by Australian & New Zealand teachers, most of them (the resources) are world-friendly! (We’re an inclusive bunch, thinking locally, acting globally...! 😀
Kathryn and I are very proud to have been involved in this collaborative effort, as the resulting, 45-page publication introduces over 20 experienced teachers-authors, and TPT store links to some of the quality tried and tested classroom resources they've created.
The teachers provide free, downloadable resources which include everything, from teacher planners, starting school activities, classroom icebreakers, literacy & numeracy games, activities and lessons, STEM and religious education, to parent meeting notes, goal-setting, problem-solving, and editable wrist bands...
TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers) provides something for everyone, ranging from Pre K to secondary school ~ mathematics to curriculum-aligned, song-based resources!
This eBook is sure to prove to be an invaluable reference guide throughout the whole school year!
