Default Re: How to Better yourself as a teacher?

Hello.

Good question. Those of us who have been teaching for a while tend to get stuck in a rut. We don't get observed as much, since we aren't new anymore. This makes it easy to do the same thing over and over.

I haven't done any formal trainings in a while, so I don't know if there are any really good ones. I prefer to sit in on another teacher's class once in a while. I'll choose a day that this teacher is teaching something that I teach too. This way I can observe the different activities used. Every time I do this exercise I come away feeling like I learned something and I feel more motivated. As teachers we tend to get stuck in our classrooms and we don't get enough interaction with other educators. Try this out. Thanks
