Mommyfaithe Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You the teacher how to teach. I am not talking about schedules or dialogues, but actual teaching instruction. I know BJU math does a great job of this in their elementary homeschool tm's. What other curricula have actual instruction for the teacher? Thanks, Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandtinagilbert Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 TOG, PR, and Singapore have helped me be a better teacher in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susankenny Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Saxon told me what to say verbatim in the K-2 math manuals. WWE workbooks tell you exactly what to say. R&S English is very thorough imho. R&S Phonics has been very easy & tells me exactly what to teach. Calvert tells you exactly what to do in every subject. Anyway. I'm sure there are a ton - but these come to mind immediately. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thowell Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 O love CLE math in the younger years. Have used 1st and 2nd so far and they are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Rod and Staff has nice teacher editions. I don't know if they teach you HOW to teach, but they tell what to say and provide extra examples. All About Spelling is excellent as well. MEP Story of the World - could not be easier.

Sun Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love MEP for this because it gives step-by-step lesson plans that tell exactly what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 ...for teaching the teacher, not scripting (which I think is very different)... So far I like WWE textbook and Miquon 3 teacher's books. With those two resources, I feel like I have learned how to teach the subject (at those levels) and could go without workbooks or scripting or other hand-holding and just teach. I am :bigear:! Great thread topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBee Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I am enjoying reading CSMP and MEP teachers manuals/lesson plans. Also Miquon. Also enjoying PR and TOG. The teacher guide for WWE has helped me a ton as well (along with WTM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plink Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Five in a Row has taught me the most. In Before FIAR, I learned how to encourage my children to explore illustrations and words beyond the things that are obvious at first glance. I learned to teach gently and to be my child's biggest cheerleader. In FIAR I learned how to create my own unit studies and shape them around my children's passions. In the FIAR Digital Nature Studies I learned how to be intentional about nature without turning outdoor time into another task to be done.

karensk Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love the FIAR series! They taught me about how to teach literature and discuss it, enabling the children to notice things on their own, not simply be spoon-fed a bunch of info about the book. Some others: FLL-3 & 4 - taught me how to present and reinforce grammar concepts Singapore Math Teacher's Guides for PM - taught me hands-on activities that reinforce math concepts This isn't a teacher's manual, but Adam Andrews' Teaching the Classics was very helpful in teaching me how to teach literature.

~Kirsten~ Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Though many (myself included) find it difficult to implement, I think BFSU deserves a mention in this category. It truly guides you on how to have conversations with children about scientific ideas. I've found the WWE text and Singapore HIGs also quite helpful.

SilverMoon Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Rod and Staff has some of the best TE's I've used. They spell it all out for you, include teaching tips in the front, extra notes, oral quizzes, common mistakes students might make, and such.

Mommyfaithe Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks! How about Unit Studies or all inclusive type programs with great teacher instruction? Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 It's drop dead amazing. I can't tell you how much I am learning about teaching Math. WWE - the text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
