Have you ever looked at another teacher&#8217;s bulletin boards and wondered how they managed to make it so interesting? Maybe you don&#8217;t have a lot of experience with art, or maybe you&#8217;re running low on creative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>This course provides a new and fresh direction that helps teachers understand the basic principles of art and design and how to apply these in planning and creating bulletin boards. Included are a number of ideas for interesting, interactive and educative bulletin boards. Through this course, teachers come up with some very creative and visually effective ideas for their classrooms and often are inspired to create their own classroom bulletin board makeovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bullying: The Golden Rule Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/k12teacherstaffdevelopment.com\/tlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/bullying_1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1331\" style=\"border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px 20px;\" title=\"Bullying: The Golden Rule Solution\" alt=\"Bullying: The Golden Rule Solution\" src=\"https:\/\/k12teacherstaffdevelopment.com\/tlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/bullying_1.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a>During childhood, children learn and practice the skills they will need in their adult lives. Bullying is an unpleasant but inevitable part of life that happens in virtually every social group. If children don&#8217;t learn how to deal with hostility in their formative years, how will they manage when they grow up and have to face hostility from their co-workers, bosses, spouses and children?<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the solution to bullying has been known for thousands of years. It is known as the Golden Rule and has been taught by wise people throughout history. The Golden Rule is the solution to being a victim. When people \u2013 both kids and adults \u2013 understand the practical application of the Golden Rule, no one can bully them and they can even turn their enemies into friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Differentiation for Gifted Learners in the Classroom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-689\" style=\"border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;\" title=\"Sample from Gifted Learners in the Classroom Course #1\" alt=\"Sample from Gifted Learners in the Classroom Course #1\" src=\"https:\/\/k12teacherstaffdevelopment.com\/tlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/gifted_01.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/k12teacherstaffdevelopment.com\/tlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/gifted_01.png 818w, https:\/\/k12teacherstaffdevelopment.com\/tlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/gifted_01-300x217.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>This course examines some of the challenges facing gifted learners and offers easily implemented accommodations and success strategies.

They think and remember events differently. They react and communicate differently. By understanding the how and why of these differences, you can become one who gains insight.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding some of the different issues people with autism must face can help us to be more understanding and improve our interactions. By understanding how students with autism function, we can make more informed choices in education and care and, maybe most importantly, we can assess our own automatic hard-wired responses that might occur when someone is truly different.<\/p>\n<p>By understanding the underlying components of developmental differences in those on the spectrum, teachers, parents and others can reframe their own preconceived expectations and help support the learning and behavior for those with autism. Learn to more clearly understand the world from the perspective of someone with autism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>iPads in the Classroom<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>\u201cYou have an iPad in your classroom, now what?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The iPad helps us prepare today&#8217;s student for today&#8217;s world in more ways than we could ever do using traditional teaching strategies.
