Question:
I plan on teaching grade 6. I am majoring in geography. Originally, I chose French as my minor, but am finding I don’t really like it. I plan on changing to a history minor, but am also VERY interested in psychology. If you were the hiring director for a school, would you hire someone to teach grade 6, who had psychology as their minor?

Question:
The Subject I am going to teach has no syllabus, no curriculum, it is a 2 year old program in school, the former teacher used no books had no sources to rely on and I am given the freedom to find anything I want to use. I would appreciate any tips on books, workbooks, printed materials, on-line resources I could check out and /or use to prepare for this challenge. The only thing I was told is that I am supposed to review key skills the students were supposed to acquire in their Elementary years. It is a little “broad” of a subject I would say, but any idea or tip can be a start. Thanks to all for your help!
What writing projects have you done in that past that were fun for that grad level? thanks.
Question:
The Texas Ranger Division, commonly called the Texas Rangers, is a law enforcement agency with statewide jurisdiction based in Austin, the capital of Texas, in the United States. Over the years, the Texas Rangers have investigated crimes ranging from murder to political corruption, acted as riot police and as detectives, protected the Texas governor, tracked down fugitives, and functioned as a paramilitary force at the service of both the Republic (1836–45) and the state of Texas.

The Texas Rangers Division is opening the Texas Rangers History and Education Center in Kerrville, Texas.
I want to first see if teachers and students would be interested in what the center has to offer. Would you like to use any specific resources? Would you like to visit the Center, etc.
If you aren’t from Texas, but do teach history, what are the things important to you and your students as far as resources and learning centers?
Thanks!!
Question:
I was thinking back to junior high when use to have simulations for history class. We would typically act out historical events in class for hands on learning. Our class got to do a model UN simulation where we actually ran our country and interacted with the other countries. We had to build our economies, militaries, and world influence. We also had to manage our resources, population and meet goals that were given out by the teacher.
I thought back and wondered how can I go back to Junior High and have that much fun again? It would sure beat running SQL SPUFIs all day to extract data.
