Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
Don't cram the night before. Study in little increments through the week. Then, fully review 2 days before the test. The day before the test just chill. Remember to take breaks when you study.

This may sould really dumb, but when you study it is good to make notes into a song. This will be just like memorizing your favorite song on the radio. You can sing it to yourself during a test or quiz. Trust me, it will help. It helps me! Thank you, and happy studying!

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Seat Students at Tables
I seat my students in groups of four or five at tables. This allows students to face each other and interact in positive ways. Students can work together in a cooperative manner. Also, it is easier for me to manage their behavior since I have to monitor several groups rather than twenty-five to thirty students.
Having Materials Ready
Be proactive by placing all materials and supplies students need to do their work in bins that are easily accessible to them. Lessons can be disrupted if you have to continually stop to provide one or more students with the supplies and materials they need for the lesson or assignment.
