Teachers are Thieves

As a future teacher I have accepted that I will be a thief. I will steal good ideas from teachers before me to make myself a better teacher. It is no secret that teachers do this, we are trained to beg, borrow, and steal. This is how education works.

That being said, this is a great thing. Educators take other educators' ideas, use them, tweak them, and pass them on. Our minds work together and create great things. Since we are teachers, we make loads of money, more money than we could ever spend (haha just kidding!). Teachers are poor, this is not a secret either, we CHOOSE to teach because we love it.

 
This being said, money isn't so bad either. Here is a site that teachers share ideas AND get paid, by other teachers. What a great idea.

Here are some other places I frequently steal from:

The first resource I want to highlight is the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. They produce a research journal that is excellent. I recommend subscribing if you are a FCS teacher! AAFCS research journal website

The Utah Education Network is a great resource for FCS teachers. They have lesson plans for whole units on many different subjects within FCS. I find myself perusing this website often to come up with new ideas or tweak the ones I already have. Utah Education Network
