SAN DIEGO, CA--The January edition of the monthly Teachers.Net Gazette webzine for teachers and school administrators is now online at http://teachers.net/gazette/JAN03. The latest issue of the Gazette features articles about classroom management and discipline, literacy instruction, educational software, writing instruction, tips for parent teacher conferencing, using technology in the classroom, writing for publication, and much more. Headlining the January 2003 Gazette is author Esme Codell's column focusing on the top contenders for children's book awards.

New Gazette columnist Hal Portner offers up the first of his Teachers As Learners articles, "Teachers Have Two Jobs." Portner explains how teachers can teach and learn to teach better while directing their own professional development.

In "Teach Children Test-taking Skills," Barbara Gruber and Sue Gruber offer simple, practical and effective ways to help children face and perform better on the many tests administered in school. Marv Marshall explains how learning and relationships are inseparable, in his monthly Promoting Learning column.

Another feature provides stunning photography and an update from the U.S. Coast Guard officer who is coordinating the Internet project connected with Operation Deep Freeze. The Teachers.Net affiliation with Operation Deep Freeze has enabled teachers and thousands of students to send questions and receive e-mail reports from Antarctica during the U.S. Coast Guard presence there during the winter months.

Regular features include printables, classroom arts and crafts, recipes, humor, literacy instruction tips, news from the world of education, and web site recommendations. This month Marjan Glavac recommends sites for school principals and high school teachers.
