Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I enjoy studying with my friends or a study group a few weeks before a test. It helps you to share and collect new information or any notes that you missed.We also discuss the topics that we feel are hard to master. A couple of days before the test, I review all the notes from my teachers or friends. It helps me a lot!

Studying is easier when it is just review. Listen in class and learn as much as you can. Set goals for yourself such as learning one chapter and then take a break. Believe in yourself and you will achieve!

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Delayed Feedback
Here is something that happens to all teachers. You prepare and teach a wonderful lesson, but when the bell rings, the students leave without saying a word about how good it was. You cannot rely on instant gratification. Instead, keep in mind that some things you do in class will influence students for years to come.
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.
