I think it is not easy for any teacher to become successful teacher. successful teacher should work very hard and follow up many strategies during the lesson to achieve his /her goal. From my own perspective, since I was a teacher I found this article is great article for me to know how I become successful teacher and achieve my mission and how can I make my students become more enthusiasm in the classroom.
I'm so happy to have found your blog. Great, positive focus on teaching and education!
Hello Pat,
This is Mary from DialMyCalls.
We're a service teachers use to send phone calls & text messages to all the parents of their students.
I came across your blog and wanted to reach out. I'd love to invite you to try out the system completely free and get your feedback on it.
I made the coupon code, TEACH1002015.
If you sign up and use that coupon code, you get 100 free phone calls and text messages added to your account to try it out and see how it works.
We have thousands of schools and teachers who use our service every year. It's a really powerful tool and a great time saver for teachers and schools.
Feel free to post the coupon code on your site if you'd like. I set it to expire at the end of this month.
(DMCs is also interested in advertising on your site, are there advertising opportunities available?)
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments, we'd love to get your feedback on it.
Thank you,
Mary
