Welcome!

Welcome to Tips from Teachers!

This is the inaugural post, so I'd like to start by giving you an overview of what is to come in future posts.

The purpose of this website is to provide tips to students (and parents of those students) that will help students to achieve to their fullest potential in school. Every week (approximately), I will post a new strategy or tip related to schoolwork, homework, class participation, communication with teachers...basically anything related to helping students find success in school. Specific topics may include managing stress, creating and following effective homework routines, and figuring out the best ways to work with different teachers. I will also hopefully have a wide range of guest bloggers- that is, other teachers - who can provide content-specific tips or strategies for their areas of expertise.

The content on this website will include audio clips, videos, graphics, hyperlinks to other websites, and text; we all learn differently, so this is an example of presenting information in multiple modalities in order to reach a wider audience (which is a best practice FOR teachers)!

If you have any questions or would like more information about a specific strategy, please come to see me in Thayer's Middle School Hale Learning Center, email me at ekeenan@thayer.org, or give me a call at 781-664-2322.

Happy learning,

Ms. Keenan
