2). How To Write The Best Teacher Resume You Can
It should come as no surprise that there is a currently a shortage of teachers in the United States. This unfortunate trend has been seen for well over a decade. To compound the issue, recent labor studies have predicted that teaching positions will likely continue to grow faster than the national average for the next several years due to recent government regulations to reduce class size and increase educational accountability.

4). Teach Your First Grader How To Spell
Our education begins from the day we're born. While we don't immediately plunge into school, we're constantly exposed to new things that help develop our minds. Academics are only part of our long journey to knowledge.
By the time we enter kindergarten, we are ready to begin the reading and writing aspects, but at a slow and steady pace. Too much too soon can overwhelm and confuse us.

5). Reading Strategies For Struggling Readers
Struggling readers are simply individuals who have not learned effective reading strategies. Don't be too concerned if you aren't familiar with the term, "reading strategies;" most good readers never had to learn them; instead, they just use them naturally. Struggling readers, on the other hand, have no idea how their friends can finish their work before they make it through the first paragraph.

6). Music And Your Child’s Development
As the mother of a two year old, I am always looking for activities that encourage learning and development. I find that most of the activities we do together that result in learning are purely by coincidence and luck – not by any skill or training I have.
As of late, my son has shown a real passion for music. He has even begun to differentiate between styles of music he likes and dislikes – his preferences are Contemporary Christian and Country, of course those both fall behind any song done by The Wiggles.

7). Flexible Estimation in Math
Adults use rounding and estimation in their everyday lives. They approximate the temperature, the cost of items, the time, and even their age. Consider this conversation:
"How much did it cost to fix your car?"
"Six hundred bucks!"
Without any words such as: about, approximately, around, roughly, or nearly, it can be assumed that the second person rounded the actual cost.

8). Get It Out Of Your Head And Into a Mind Map
Do you ever feel like you have some great ideas, but when you sit down to write them, they're not so great? Or even worse, you can't really get a sense of what the ideas were? In one of my graduate student coaching groups we have been discussing the difficulty of translating partly formed ideas into words on paper. One technique that makes use of a normally underutilized part of our brain is called "Mind Mapping.

9). Learning And Teaching Social Skills: A Relationship-Based Approach
For those of us committed to helping children overcome learning challenges, the quest to teach social skills is particularly important. Social learning impairments are associated with a wide variety of learning disabilities, although they are especially problematic for people with nonverbal learning disabilities (NLD), noted to have underdeveloped right-hemisphere.

10). How to Teach Yoga in the Corporate Marketplace (Part 2)
This prepares you when you talk to the public about what you do. To state: “I teach Yoga classes,” is not enough of an explanation - if the person you talk to has a mental picture of Yoga as just a bunch of pretzel poses, displayed by show-offs.

There are many methods for teaching Yoga, but students either learn by seeing, feeling, hearing, or a combination of senses. With this in mind, there is no right or wrong method, but Yoga teachers should be aware that some students may have a dominant sense when it comes to learning.

13). Struggling Readers: The Struggles
Struggling readers have a number of barriers to their success that can be overcome if they are properly understood and addressed. Left unchecked, these barriers can grow into an unmanageable weight for both the student and the educators who are trying to help them.

14). Making Genius
In his excellent book: "Scientific Genius, Dean Keith Simonton of the USC-Davis, suggests that genuises are forming more novel combinations than the merely talented. His theory has etymology behind it: Cogito- "I think"- orginally connoted "shake together". Intelligo, the root of intelligence, means to "select among". This is a clear early indication about the utility of permitting ideas and thoughts to randomly combine with each other and selecting from the many the few to retain.

15). The Perseverance of Teaching Yoga (Part 2)
If I visualize becoming a Yoga teacher without any action, then this is just a "pipe dream." You would be better off to dream in your sleep and take action while you are awake.
