			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recycling containers are packed, the volunteers are assembled and KPB is just about ready to go for tomorrow&#8217;s big recycling event!! Don&#8217;t forget you can bring everything from electronics (hard drives shredded!) to canned food to phone books to personal documents for shredding. The event will be held at the Thistle Landing office complex on 48th Street between Ray Road and Chandler Boulevard. A special thanks to the Ahwatukee Foothills Chamber of Commerce, Advantage Office Suites and of course our buddies at the City of Phoenix Public Works Department for their outstanding help. We look forward to seeing you there! For more info, check out <a href="www.phoenixrecycles.org.">www.phoenixrecycles.org.</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This &#8220;what makes a good teacher&#8221; created by a group of high school students.</p>
<p>•	treat students with respect<br />
•	be enthusiastic<br />
•	know your stuff<br />
•	be available for extra help<br />
•	use multimedia resources and multiple resources for students<br />
•	connect with students/ form relationships<br />
•	interact with students- outside school activities, talk about their personal lives<br />
•	real life connections to materials/class<br />
•	just talk to students and get to know them in first few days<br />
•	if using PowerPoint, use less words and have slides available for download<br />
•	don&#8217;t lecture for whole class, mix things up<br />
•	use games for review<br />
•	let students use a note card for test or some kind of reference<br />
•	realistic homework &#8211; if you assign too much, students won&#8217;t do it, or won&#8217;t be able to<br />
•	science classes &#8211; problems and projects and labs<br />
•	give students multiple days to complete homework &#8211; allows for issues in schedule, sports, etc.<br />
•	don&#8217;t give all class rules at once &#8211; overwhelms students &#8211; just touch on main points<br />
•	use web resources &#8211; class site or blog, and review materials students can access at home<br />
•	let students do work on board and explain how to do it instead of teacher always doing it<br />
•	projects &#8211; one big one per marking period with some class time for them<br />
•	let students pick project groups &#8211; easier for meeting outside of school<br />
•	be flexible &#8211; reschedule test if lots of tests on same day or other things going on</p>
<p>What do you think? What would you add to the list?</p>
