100 Ideas for Teaching Skills
We were approached and asked if we could write a book to share some of the ideas and activities we have amalgamated over the years. Ideas range from designing challenging lessons to keeping students interested and on task to organising your teaching in order to control challenging behaviour. We loved writing the book, hope you enjoy reading it.
Many similar ideas and resources can be found on our partner site Innovativehistory.net (currently under development). Although the main focus is on the teaching of history the vast majority of resources can be easily modified for any subject.
We hope you enjoy the book!

StaffroomProject.com: contribute and you might get published!
We have recently launched a new website named Staffroomproject.com. The intention is to create an environment where we, the teachers, have the opportunity to gain recognition for our work.
There are too many clichés and misunderstandings surrounding the teaching of exam groups and if education is to be improved then we need to tackle these head on - together. The key philosophy within this site is to show how exam preparation should not destroy good learning and teaching.
This is where you come in...
We are currently in discussion with a publisher to write a book together with the teaching community (deadline in 2009) . We would like you to add ideas and techniques to each section, either in generic or subject specific examples, so that we can learn from each other and build up models of best practice. The aim is to provide practical examples as well as a rationale for wider use.
We have published our contents page online (menu on the left of the website) and have added a few ideas already. Those examples that are added to the final published draft will be acknowledged clearly in the book.
