Successful Teaching Tools and Techniques For 21st Century
Educators, administrators, and parents need a boost to support their efforts in delivering quality education. The free, online Ed Tools Directory™, published by Education Reporting, Inc. (ERI), is a cornucopia of education vendors offering quality classroom resources, teacher skill improvement services, innovative learning software and materials, comprehensive skill development workshops, online learning resources in all content areas, K-12 consulting services, and much more. The K-12 Ed Tools Directory™ is designed to aid new teachers, veteran educators, home schoolers, and administrators in using relevant and effective education tools.
Encinitas, CA (ERI) March 17, 2009 - Statistics show that more than 50% of new K-12 teachers are leaving the profession in their first five years. One contributing factor is student behavior. Teachers without the materials and classroom management skills necessary to sustain engaging lessons end up with classes full of behavior problems. Teachers want to make a difference not babysit students. The Ed Tools Directory™ is one location with hundreds of education resources to better equip all K-12 educators and it's absolutely free to access - there's no subscription cost.
Education reform is on the front burner of many social and political agendas, including the integration of performance based pay. Teachers understand that enhancing their pedagogy is the road to achieving better student test scores. Now, without taking another professional development class or attending another Professional Learning Community (PLC) meeting, educators can receive tools, tips, and techniques in the Ed Tools Directory™.
Teachers cannot rely on a textbook or file cabinets stocked with worksheets to combat student apathy. John Dewey, a renowned education psychologist, articulated that experiential learning is necessary for knowledge transfer. The Ed Tools Directory™ is a virtual data mine of vendors who can make it easier to implement and establish an experiential learning environment. These free yellow pages on the net are a tool focusing on improving K-12 instruction around the globe.
Greg Nath, founder of Ed Tools Directory™, a former high school science educator, created this free, online tool because he knows firsthand that: 1) teachers will use free resources and 2) teachers don't have time to track down all the products and services that will help improve classroom learning. The Ed Tools Directory™ content places the quintessential products and services required to advance K-12 learning in the hands of people who need it: K-12 educators.
Nath has an extensive business and education background. This includes 25 years in business, including IBM as a project manager in technologies. He's taught high school science while successfully implemented elevated learning programs, and has a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. ERI, a renowned research site, focuses on K-12 education challenges and successes.
