Do you have projects ideas and need help?
The biggest challenge any teacher or trainer faces is capturing the students’ or adult learners attention, and putting across ideas in such a way that it stays with them long after they have left the classroom. For this to happen, classroom experience should be redefined and innovative ideas that make teaching learning methods more effective should be implemented.
So here we will present some innovative ideas that will help teachers or trainers reinvent their teaching methods and make their classes much more interesting. The use of innovative methods in educational institutions even in informal or non-formal education have the potential not only to improve education at all level, but also to train the students and the people, in general, for the everyday life and to profesionalize them in the professions that the society needs.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can impact student learning when teachers are digitally literate and understand how to integrate it into curriculum. Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information. In some contexts, ICT has also become integral to the teaching-learning interaction, through such approaches as replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, using students’ own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time, and the “flipped classroom” model where students watch lectures at home on the computer and use classroom time for more interactive exercises. When teachers are digitally literate and trained to use ICT, these approaches can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and individualized options for students to express their understandings.
The need for teachers or adult educators trained in the inclusion and diversity spirit is critical for schools or organizations which want to provide an inclusive educational experience. Simply teaching tolerance is insufficient. So, institutions should make commitments to diversity and inclusion and make a concerted effort to incorporate inclusive teaching or training strategies.
Therefore, ongoing training that provides awareness and insight is the ideal investment in a teachers team or adult educators. Creating an inclusive culture that champions inclusive teaching, learning and training will not only benefit educators, but students and adult learners as well. Diversity in the classroom has numerous positive benefits for students and educators so, the well-trained educators to be well equipped with the tools and to encourage the exchange of ideas and interpersonal understanding.
Teaching or training is an emotional practice, and teachers/trainers need support in strengthening their social and emotional skills to manage the stress that comes with teaching or training activities and stay in the profession for the long term.
Social and emotional competencies are critical to avoid burnout and increase teacher well-being. Being able to connect with our own emotions and feelings before reacting to student misbehavior, finding ways to unwind after a busy day, or identifying our internal drivers are all ways of using our emotional intelligence to feel better with ourselves and the world around us. Some of these skills might come naturally to some teachers, while others might require more attention and additional development.
