  Teacher's Lounge

When you were a kid, the teacher's lounge was a mysterious place. Behind closed doors. Teachers only. Surely they were talking about you.

Now you know better. The teacher's lounge has become a kid-free zone where you can be just a person - instead of Mrs. Simpson or Mr. Hernandez. It's a place to relax and chat with other teachers, discuss educational ideology and curriculum, exchange ideas in hopes of bettering your lessons and frankly, ask for help when you need it.

We understand you're looking for ideas. Who isn't? And we've got loads of them.

We've developed a broad environmental curriculum so you can coach environmental awareness without devoting your life to research. And we've made it easy to coordinate your students' activities with the unit you're teaching.

Consider it the crib sheet of lesson planning. And next time you swing by the teacher's lounge - pass on the good word.
