Study: Boosting soft skills is better than raising test scores

15 Interesting Ways To Start Class Tomorrow

https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/12-interesting-ways-to-start-class-tomorrow/

You love teaching, your love your classroom, you love your students (most of them), but you’re tired. This doesn’t mean you’re not willing to work, but it makes the fountain of good ideas run a bit dry at times, especially towards the end of the year.

So here are 15 ways to start class tomorrow. How well these work depends on how you use them, the tone of your classroom, and even the timing of when you give them a go. Some will be great for an early class, but flop after lunch; others, vice-versa. Try one, then share how it went or ideas better than these via twitter or facebook.

Teaching Is Truly a Joyous Profession 

http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/work_in_progress/2016/02/teaching_is_truly_a_joyous_pro.html?cmp=SOC-EDIT-FB 

Elaborate "aha moments" coupled with the unexpected, makes education a very exciting field to be in. However the day to day of planning and mundane paperwork can take us away from the parts we love most.
