I have had quite a few sites link to me lately and I have not returned the favor. If you have linked to me at any point, please trust that I will be linking to you within the next three months. I’m telling you, this site will go crazy after the school year is over. I may be able to do some more catching up over spring break in a week or so. We’ll see what happens.

jd2718 added me to his March link updates. He also said I’m a great idea and very helpful. Awww, thanks!

Wow, where has the time gone? I’ve been featured in a handful of carnivals lately. This includes the 154th, 155th, 159th, and 160th.

Speaking of carnivals, I will be hosting the March 19th edition of the Carnival of Education. Entries may be submitted any time from this Wednesday through 11pm EST on Tuesday March 18th. Get your self-promotion skills ready! Also, go over and visit my buddy Mister Teacher this week and submit an article for his edition of the carnival. We’d hate for him to feel left out.

How Do I Keep My Students Quiet?

Joel Wagner

Joel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.
