Resources for New Teacher
I just took a new job where I will be working in adult education. I will be a) giving talks on topics that will help students tranistion to a new job, better job, or college and b) teaching GED courses.
I have not taken any education courses so I am hoping to get resource recommendations from all of you. Any websites (teaching or career/higher education related), books, forums, groups etc. would be great!
Re: Resources for New Teacher
That sounds like a fun job! Will you be teaching ESL students? (I responded to your post a while back here.)
Here's some additional info, hope this helps:
free.ed.gov is a great resource run by the government that acts like an education search engine.
readwritethink.org is the website I always visit first when looking for lesson planning ideas or general overviews
A wonderful overview of teaching is The First Days of School by H. Wong. It's heavily based in youth education, but I think it would be very valuable to you to think about philosophy of education and overlapping topics. To be honest, I've been teaching adults (in HR) for the last 15 years and teaching children is not all that different.
