Fleming, M.F. 1993. The Biology Teacher's Survival Guide: Tips, Techniques, & Materials for Success in the Classroom. The Center for Applied Resaerch in Education. West Nyak, New York.

Fleming's text was a great rsource for me, the future biology teacher. It provided insight on not just focusing on Biology. It provied many activities and worksheets. Also, it addressed such things as clasroom management and it suggest ways to be more innovative in one's lesson whic I seek to do.

This journal has been valuable for me,  the future science teacher. Reading this journal has been enlightening--seeing firsthand expert teachers in practice. I've been able to discover new techniques and ideas to adapt into my lessons.
 
 
 

Villee, C., Martin, C., Berg, L, Davis, P. 1992. Biology 2nd Edition. Saunders Collee Publishing.

This book, for me the science teacher, has been a great resource for review. If I'm a little removed from a topic-it helps reinforce knowledge.
 
 
 
 

Wood, C. 1997. Yardsticks. Children in the Classroom Ages  4-14: A Resource for Parents and Teachers. Northeast Foundation fo Children, Inc. Greenfield, MA. 01301.

This resource was invaluable to me, especially in my middle school experience. Children at that age can be a real challenge--which I found out despite the warnings that I was given. Reading about this age group was invaluable as I was able to get inside their minds and see what they were thinking. I was able to adjust my teaching and this enabled me to bring the concepts to life for my students. When provided with real life examples, that are applicable to their daily lives, students are more eager and excited about learning.
