Today's Teacher
In this assignment I was tasked with defining the characteristics of the 21st-century teacher. In doing so I had to also reference the 20th-century teacher and the differences between the two. Below you will find a poster all about today's teacher and the defining characteristics that he/she has. In addition you will also see strategies and tools a coach could use to help that teacher join the 21st-century.
This assignment helped me to really define the differences between the two types of teachers. It also required that I find solutions and coaching techniques in which to help teachers develop those key skills. I really enjoyed creating this assignment because the process helped me in my own professional practice. The hardest part about this assignment was giving general advice. I've found that every teacher and situation is different and requires different ideas and solutions. Regardless of the tool though, the most vital part of the coaching cycle will be the constant communication and follow up support that is provided.
