These Are The 16 Attributes of The Modern Educator

These Are The 16 Attributes of The Modern Educator
December 30, 2014 As teachers and educators, we are constantly required to review, evaluate and renew our teaching strategies to align them with the cultural, technological and pedagogical ethos of the era we are living in. In today's era, the digital component is at the foreground which obviously calls for a new mindset, a novel conceptual framework that views technology not as an end itself but solely a mean to an educational end. It is a truism that digitality has opened a new horizon of unprecedented learning opportunities and experiences but we can only tap into its full educational potential when we equip ourselves with the proper mindset: a growth and open mindset that as much as it adapts it also disrupts the century-old orthodoxies underlying teaching and learning practice. Teaching is a dynamic concept which is constantly evolving and expanding and that is why teachers and educators are forever learners. Related:  El Mejor MaestroDocencia

The 10 Biggest Educational Trends (And What Teachers Think) We hear a lot about what things are popular in terms of technology, the cool new devices that are coming out, and trends that are happening with classroom technology integration. But just because something is a trend (or even a requirement) doesn’t that it is popular or liked. It doesn’t mean you won’t hear people grumbling about it. Often times, trends become trends because a lot of people like them, but in the case of education, trends can happen easily in the following scenario: administrators like the idea and think it is great, and teachers have to implement said idea regardless of if it is a great fit with their classroom and students. So what common education technology trends are really supported and loved by teachers, and which ones make them want to bang their heads on their chalkboards/desks/smartboards/laptops?

Performance reviews: five things you shouldn't say There is something about receiving a meeting request for a performance review that fills most people with the same sense of dread as a job interview or a parent-teacher meeting. And it's not just the employees who are anxious. Let's face it – most bosses don't look forward to this time of year either. Every boss knows that if an annual review isn't worded perfectly, it can crush an employee's motivation, inspiration and productivity. Want to avoid office mutiny? Ban these phrases from your vocabulary – and never, ever say "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed". "Sorry I'm late…" If you've scheduled a review for 2 o'clock, don't leave a team member watching the clock. I've also heard of bosses saying to their staffer, "OK, lets get this thing over and done with …" Take your responsibilities as a reviewer seriously – make notes beforehand and refer to them. "Why are you always late?" "In comparison to [insert name of employee]" "I've been meaning to speak to you about …"

La buena vida de los profesores. | La Ametralladora La buena vida de los profesores. Por Yolanda Barreno. Ser profesor de secundaria parece, en estos tiempos que corren, sinónimo de tener una buena vida: trabajar pocas horas, tener muchas vacaciones y cobrar un sueldazo. O al menos eso es lo que se oye en las calles, la imagen social de un colectivo cada vez más desprestigiado por la constante labor de unos medios de comunicación de masas al servicio de unos intereses políticos e ideológicos de sobra conocidos. A pesar de todo, la docencia sigue siendo una buena opción laboral para muchos titulados universitarios, condenados en caso contrario a engrosar las filas del paro y de la emigración forzosa. El punto de partida debe ser la formación necesaria para ser profesor, en la que se aúnan tiempo y esfuerzo a partes iguales. Una vez superados estos estudios, hay que presentarse a las oposiciones al Cuerpo de Profesores de Secundaria, que constan de tres fases: Porque, ¿cuántas horas trabaja un Profesor de Secundaria?

7 Characteristics of an Innovative Educator Written by Rachelle Wootten What are the characteristics of an innovative educator? Reflective – As an educator, it is important to reflect on what is working and what is not. Even though it can be a little uncomfortable, we have to admit when a great lesson was really a flop. We must constantly examine our processes and our concepts to make sure they are what is best for the students we teach. Learners- An innovative educator is always learning, reading, listening. Creative- When I say creative I don’t mean in the sense of artistic even though some innovative educators fall in this category. Connected- It’s hard to be classified as innovative when you are disconnected from your students and trends in the profession. Collaborative- Education is one industry where sharing is necessary and vital to true innovation in the classroom. Inquisitive- How can I improve? Principled- Innovative educators live life according to strong values. Rachelle Wootten (1 Posts)
