I do not believe that many teachers deliberately consider the need to make a change from working as a teacher to being a teacher. When someone is hired to teach a class, someone other than a traditional college professor, they often learn through practice and time what works best in the classroom. There may be classroom audits and recommendations made regarding ongoing professional development.
Gradually a general educator will become a teacher as he or she seeks resources to help improve their teaching methods. However, I have worked with many online educators who rely on their own story knowledge alone and who do not believe there is a reason to grow as a teacher.
MySNHU is an online portal that allows students to access their academic records, grades, and other important information. My SNHU is specially designed for Southern New Hampshire University’s official students that allow students to access their records, schedule classes, and manage their academic information.
For anyone who would like to be an involved and transformative teacher, there are some strategies that can be used.
Strategy # 1: Transform by Improving Your Teaching Method
While any teacher can learn about time off work, it is possible to have a purpose for this growth. There are many online resources, publications, workshops, webinars, and professional groups that will allow you to learn new techniques, techniques, and procedures. There are also social networking websites such as LinkedIn and Twitter that allow for the exchange of ideas and resources between the global teaching community.
You can also use accountability as a measure of your success. I found that the best time to review my teaching routine came shortly after class was completed. That is when I can evaluate the techniques I have used and see if those methods work well. Even reviewing the end-of-student survey survey may provide insight into my students’ point of view, whether all the submissions submitted were correct or not. Students often submit a research response when they are happy or very unhappy about a subject. Either way, I can learn something from what my students experienced during class.
MyeClass is a web-based online portal designed for parents to check their children’s educational progress and share educational experiences on daily basis. With the MyeClass login page, parents can access grades and report cards, send messages to other parents, post photos and videos of their children, and more.
Strategy # 2: Transform by Improving Your Educational Skills
I know in my online career development work this is the area of development that most teachers can use. However, it is often regarded as a low priority until it is noted in class audits. If a teacher has poor academic writing skills, it will impair his or her ability to provide complete feedback for students.
For online educators, this has an even greater impact if the messages posted contain spelling, grammar, and formatting. Development of educational skills can be done through online resources or workshops. Many of the online schools I have worked for offer creative workshops and this is an important resource for self-improvement.
Strategy # 3: Transform by Improving Your Title Artist
Every teacher has subject skills that he can apply to them. However, the challenge is to keep this knowledge alive as you continue to teach for several years. The best advice I can give you is to find resources that allow you to learn and learn about current thinking, research, and best practices in your chosen field.
This is important for your teaching career as students can easily see if you seem to have the latest knowledge, or are out of date and seemingly out of work. Even the use of necessary textbooks or resources does not guarantee that you are using the most current knowledge as knowledge grows rapidly in many fields.
TTU Blackboard is the online web portal for the students of Texas Tech University to facilitate their students. Each student is awarded a unique Blackboard ttu account to check his course activities and grades.
Strategy # 4: Transform and Improve Your Adult Education
The last step or recommendation I would recommend is to get information about adult learning theory, principles, and procedures. If you do not know the basics there are concepts you can research and include deep thinking, andragogy, your guided reading, flexible reading, reading styles, inspiration, and comprehension.
My suggestion is to find and read online resources related to higher education and find a topic you are interested in to further your research. I found that the more I learned about the topics I was enjoying, the more I developed an interest in the ongoing professional development. What you can learn from what you are learning will have a positive impact on your work as a teacher and this will improve all aspects of your teaching career.
