Also, with a coach you are able to see your own strengths, weaknesses and career path much more clearly. Using a coach can have a greater impact to allow you to become a better teacher for your career.
The Reality of the Teaching Realm Today
The data reveals that many new teachers are actively seeking out coaching or mentoring support in areas such as classroom management and lesson planning; however, this style of support is rarely available. And in today’s society, most people (including teachers) don’t like to admit the need for help. The classroom environment new teachers are working with tough teaching conditions with almost no form of support, causing them to feel even more frustrated and ineffective. Many schools do not even have a mentoring system in place, which further exaggerates this problem.
When new teachers step into the classroom for the first time, they are usually shocked by the disconnect between what is being taught and what is really happening in the classroom.
Teachers are longing to showcase the “how” instead of the theoretical “what.” However, teacher education programs still have a long way to go in terms of preparing teachers for what is surely, one of the most difficult jobs in the world.
A Simple Yet Powerful Solution
This is where a teacher’s resource center or coaching club can be an ideal solution. It can offer coaching and mentoring resources and benefits all in one. Teachers can access the membership site when the time best suits them and they can receive exceptional support, encouragement and knowledge for their membership. Such services include coaching expertise and resources, mentorship from expert teachers who have successfully overcome the same classroom management issues new teachers are currently experiencing, and the support of a teacher coach to help them thrive in the classroom.
New and veteran teachers can also share their success stories and support others in their teaching journey. When teachers have the support of a coach or a mentor, they can feel more connected to their students and strive even harder to succeed.
