Teaching at every level is vital to our communities. People are drawn to the profession because they know they can make a difference in their students’ lives. Most teachers are clear-eyed about the ups and downs of the job — it’s never been stress-free. Yet, as masterfully as most teachers handle it, stress is starting to drive them away.
Understanding different teaching styles and when to use them is essential to optimizing classroom learning. Here are five commonly recognized types—what is your natural teaching style?
Remember your favorite teacher, the one who always seemed to make even the most challenging concepts clear? The best educators are more than masters in a specific subject, they’re skilled communicators who understand their audience.
After several of the most challenging years anyone alive has ever experienced, the possibility of a new “normal” now feels within reach. Perhaps no industry has been uprooted by COVID-19 like education, with virtual or socially distanced classrooms being implemented on a dime with little to no runway.
There was no playbook for what educators and students faced during the pandemic, but brighter days are ahead. The upcoming school year is ripe with excitement, catalyzed by the comfort of the way things used to be.
It may sound odd, but there’s never been a better time to reimagine your workspace.
Your space might work. It may be functional. But is it a great space?
That’s the key difference between good and great work. You and your employees or students should be as comfortable and productive as can be, and that starts with a space that’s designed well, has the right furniture and is safe for all who are using it.
The classroom is a place to learn, grow and inspire.
Students and educators both benefit from a quality learning environment, one that’s full of interaction and engaging activities. While this year is very different, schools are still tasked with providing the best education for their students and making their time in class as rewarding as possible.
The mission of educators does not change.
Educators and administrators have a lot to think about these days when it comes to safety, sanitization, and adherence to CDC guidelines. And many may not know where to find the right products and solutions to meet their needs.
We spoke with Kandice Tjebkes, HNI’s Director of Colors, Materials, and Finishes, and John Schwind, a senior textiles engineer for HNI, to learn more about easy-to-clean materials that will keep schools and their occupants safer in the upcoming year.
