Learner Survey

The PB IB webpage is down right now and a couple of you wanted links for
prepping beginning of the year ATL lessons to help students to identify
their own learning profile (style/preference/strength/multiple
intelligences, etc).

Here are links to help students learn about themselves as learners.

According to Carol Ann Tomlinson, differentiated learning takes into account
a student's learner profile (learning styles/modalities, etc), interests,
and abilities. Great books by the way! Order or borrow them from your
school's professional library.

Here are some resources we learned about at the training at Branksome Hall,
IB Level III with Cindy Strickland, ASCD co-author with Carol Ann Tomlinson:

Welcome

Welcome to my educational blog: Serve the Good Stuff. Can you tell I created the name when I was starving?

To my face, my colleagues thank me for sharing all of "those great teacher resources". They are so polite and courteous and always make me feel loved. But secretly I fear they are tired of me filling up their inbox and curse the day they gave me their e-dress. So, being the resourceful teacher that I like to think I am, pat pat, bow, bow, I have created this forum to post what I seem to think is hip, cool, and just sooo dang exciting for teachers and kids.

Yes, I know, it's only my version of the world but hey, sometimes, just sometimes, what I send out might be just the thing everyone's been looking for. So, for all you that have a "Jenny E-mails Read During Vacation" folder on your desktop hopefully this blog will help free up some memory and time. Here's to you my awesome colleagues; past, present and future. This on'es for you...Cheers.
