  Case: No Fun in School
My principal is a firm believer in instruction from bell to bell. I teach in an elementary school and we used to have school wide celebrations for students who have met their Reading and Math goals. Now it is left up to the teacher but it has to be done during the students scheduled Activity time. I feel that some students could be more motivated if the fun was brought back to our elementary school. How do I get my principal to understand this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make a hard copy "business plan" to provide administration with when you go to meet with them. Going in with a concrete plan will show the administration that you have researched and found facts that back up what you are presenting to them. Fun lessons are what motivate students to learn and capture their interest.
