Teaching Tips Most educators start the school year by reviewing previously learned concepts. However, this is a time when students are most motivated to learn. Why not introduce a new topic they've never seen before? This technique, known as front loading, shows students that you intend to challenge them and sets the tone for the year. For example, you can front load with your math class by introducing integers in September.
WebQuest Have your students explore arts and crafts with this new webquest, Live Healthy and Smart Like A Hungry Caterpillar.
