Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I take careful notes in my classes. This makes me stay alert so I don't miss anything important - especially things that might be on the test. When a teacher seems excited about something it's almost always on the test. I write that down for sure.

Sit straight and keep your back straight while studying. This will help you to stay focused. Try to hear the words in your mind while studying your textbook. Concentrating like this will help you to understand the topic clearly.

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Don't Assume Understanding
Teachers often make the mistake of asking students if they understand something. Students will almost always say that they do, even when they don't. Instead, ask them to explain it to you. You can then expand their understanding.
Budgeting Activity
In these troubled economic times, a good social studies activity is to have your students develop plans for how they can help their families cut expenses. Have them consider costs such as transportation, food, clothing, entertainment, and other areas of expense. Students will learn about budgeting (tie in to math) and responsibility. Have the students share their plans with the class.
