This website is an excellent resource for middle school teachers. It is to the point and doesn’t pull any punches about the fact that teaching is a commitment. I would recommend it to the beginning and veteran teacher. Having worked for The Board of Ed for twenty-three years, I know what I’m talking about.

TeachingSOS is full of realistic and doable suggestions and techniques. Although I am not in front of a class on a daily basis, I meet with students in small groups and truly believe that the management ideas found here are applicable to virtually all levels of education. Clearly a treasure, this website encourages creativity, ingenuity, and independence in the classroom.

Talk about impact! The advice on this website has helped me transform the most reserved students into active participants! Browsing through the Q&A, I’ve picked up a lot of useful information. TeachingSOS taught me how to motivate instead of reprimand, how to coach instead of instruct.

True to its name,TeachingSOS is a lifesaver. It lends me the support I need when I’m feeling overwhelmed with teaching responsibilities. The collaboration of available answers inspires me to give each day in school my best shot!
