Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I'm going to give you the shortcut to good results - Read, Read, Read (in a systematic way). This year I got super hit A plus and all I had to do was read. When you read, even if your mind is flying try to concentrate. Even if you find it hard to focus, just sit with your book. Eventually you'll find out that you are extremely attentive. Also, don't waste much time. It's very unwise.

Study in a silent place. Keep yourself calm. Don't study when you are in a bad mood. Take short breaks but don't watch tv during breaks because you may not get back to studying - instead listen to music. Try to enjoy what you are studying.

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Good Writing Position
Whether your students are writing in print or cursive (a disappearing form), they can improve the legibility of their writing by maintaining a good writing position. Writing in a good position promotes proper size, formation, and spacing of letters
Saving Students Work
Provide a file drawer in which you have a folder for each student in your class. Each student can file writing projects and important graded assignments in his or her folder. Encourage students to discard unneeded materials so that the folders do not become overly bulky.
