Reflection #1

While browsing through articles and webpages, I came across this website that could potentially be very helpful during the first year or two of teaching.

http://teachertipstraining.suite101.com/articles.cfm

This site holds a host of practical tips and answers to FAQ's new teachers may have. For example, one of the newest article gives some practical advice on how to prepare for parent teacher conferences, what the parents expect and things like that. I think it's an excellent tool because it gives you and idea of what to expect and prepare for. The site also has articles giving classroom management and discipline ideas, curriculum help, and classroom activity ideas, which as a first year teacher can be intimidating. In my mind, this is a great resource because it's created by teachers for teachers; who would know better the kinds of things teachers should know and need help with?

This is a site that I would definitely bookmark and save for future reference. Of course, you never really know what you need until you need it, but it seems like this site holds potential, and it appears to be updated frequently and by credible sources.
