Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I'm what's called an auditory learner. I have an app so I can record on my iPad. I record important information I have to remember for a test. I listen to the information many times. Hearing it helps me remember and so does all that repetition.

The most important things are to make sure you complete your homework and turn in all assignments on time. In the past I've lost points toward my grade for not doing assignments or turning them in late. Make sure you have a place in your notebook where you write down your assignments. Schedule the time to do them and stick to your schedule.

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
Transition from recess or PE
Some students become overly excited and even hyperactive following recess or PE. Follow the physical activity with a brief quiet time (five to ten minutes) in which the students listen to calming music. You can also do this after a test or a long period of seat work. Doing this can also have the positive by-product of developing your students' appreciation for music.
