THREAD. Here's my list of things that have worked. It is longer than I thought it would be.
1.Reading loads about the topics I’m teaching.
2.Planning and scripting explanations.
3.Learning names and using them.

Synes lærerjobbet er det job, der kræver den længste autodidakte uddannelse efter de 4 år på seminariet. 10 år synes jeg det tog, før jeg følte mig godt uddannet/udrustet til at kunne overskue jobbet med overskud og helt ro i maven. Det er lang tid, hvis man ikke er meget stærk.

Dette er for drøyt! Min kollega, helt vanlig lærer, ansatt i pedagogisk avdeling blir trakassert av demonstranter utenfor sin egen jobb. Får beskjed: DU MÅ OGSÅ GÅ! Vi er 80 ansatte i PED-avdelingen som ufrivillig er dratt inn i denne konflikten. Dette må ta slutt!

This, from @daisychristo, is just fantastic.
If anyone has ever asks why kids need to know facts or ‘things that can be googled’, this is the answer.

Do elite schools improve students' outcomes?
Students who just make it in elite schools in Boston/NYC, do not have better results later on relative to students who just miss out on entry.
