One of my goals during this extended summer break was to start a Patreon for this "Free Teacher Information" project.  That goal has been reached.  As of this moment, I am live and running with a new Patreon site.

It's been a while since my last post.  I have survived a hurricane and still have not started school yet.  Other than that everything has been going according to schedule.  I have managed to keep up the video end of this project over the past few days.  Amazingly I still have not missed a day.   I officially posted the Classroom setup video today.  You might want to check that out.  I also managed to record segments on seating arrangements, The unfairness of grades, and Student empowerment.  I have started working on my Patreon page for this project as well.  In the future, I hope to offer lesson evaluation and presentation tips as well as other helpful tools to aid teachers in their craft.  I will continue to keep things up to date here as best I can.  Hopefully, we are done with hurricanes for the year. I enjoy learning and teaching with you.   Together we can take over the world. Chris

Before I dive into this weighty and very important topic I will announce now that the first week of my vlogging project is complete.  Please come by and take a look at The Daily Lesson .  Be sure and hit the thumbs up so it becomes easier for other teachers to find this information.  Also If you want to know when I post and have access to the future "Teacher's Lounge"   be sure and subscribe. I posted a video that prompted some private discussion about the adversarial relationships in the education system; student and teacher, teacher and parents, teacher and administration. Here is an essay I wrote on the same topic.  I hope it helps shed some light on what I consider to be one of the biggest problems facing education today. How often do we hear things like,”Students in public education are different than they were when I was in school.  They are disrespectful.  They simply will not follow directives.  They treat teachers and ...

today was a very productive day.   Here is the video I posted .  Hope you find it useful Chris

The first vlog entry is up.  Now that that is over I can focus more on my delivery which will improve the quality of the entries.  I also am not committed to the "Daily Lesson" title an approach for this part of my project.  thanks, in advance for viewing and hitting the thumbs up button.  See you tomorrow I am tired. See the entry here. I enjoy learning with you, teaching with you and together we can take over the world. Chris

Tomorrow is Day 1... I have managed to push out 26 informational videos, I have several in the cue.  I will make the first Vlog entry tomorrow, assuming all technology works as planned and I can get it uploaded as I envision.  If you are starting tomorrow, I wish you well.  I hope each and every one of you has the best year you have ever had. I hope you have the best students you have ever had.  I hope that as the year rolls on you will be able to feel the same fulfillment that I have found. See you online.  If you haven't already, please subscribe to the channel and "thumbs up" a few videos. Check out the current videos. I enjoy learning with you.  I enjoy teaching with you, and together we can take over the world. Chris

Looks like I will be reaping the benefits from being well rested two weeks prior to the start of school like I talked about in the Back To School Tips video .  Hopefully, not many of you are getting to deal with the sleepless nights like I am,  I go back Monday.  Well sort of.  As I mentioned before We have two weeks of in-service, so I will not have students for another two weeks, but my body has decided to get all keyed up. So here I am typing out a quick blog entry before I try to relax and maybe sleep.   Today I officially passed the link on to one of my colleagues who serves as the Curriculum and Instruction Coach for our English department.  She was very complimentary and even showed her own kids some of the videos.  I have deliberately chosen a slow unveiling of this project.  Until now most all views have come from outside sources and been products of my posting discussion boards etc.  I also have a Facebook page now...
