At a GRREC event last week I was introduced to a really great website called The Teaching Channel, which features tons of material, including lots of videos of great teaching practices, a social networking site for teachers to share ideas and resources, and an online workspace for developing and trading lesson plans and more.
This could be a great resource for individual teachers, but also could provide a terrific resource for teacher professional development sessions and Professional Learning Community activities.
Check out this video, "My Favorite No," which features an 8th grade math teacher's warm up activity, which also serves as an excellent formative assessment and an opportunity to promote a trusting, risk-taking classroom environment.
