All year long, teachers try to reach their students in many ways in the attempt to help them better understand the subject matter in the classroom. A lot of hard talk and guilt trips will not get the students in your corner. Teachers today need to reach the students, not the other way around. In that case, there are several projects teachers can undertake this summer to improve their curriculum.
Summer vacation is a touchy area for many teachers.
What will assist you next year requires nothing more than a radio, VCR, and a local newsstand. First, go to your local bookstore and ask what is popular with your age of students today. If you do not want to buy the books or magazines, sit down and read them. Many bookstores sell refreshments and offer relaxing places for such activities. Second, while you drive around town this summer, adjust your radio stations to what is popular with your students.
