8 Habits of Highly Effective 21st Century Teachers

By Andrew Churches

Teachers’ Characteristics

• Adapting– educator must be able to adapt the curriculum and the

requirements to teach to the curriculum in imaginative ways.– able to adapt software and hardware designed for a

business model into tools to be used by a variety of age groups and abilities.

– able to adapt to a dynamic teaching experience.

• Being Visionary– Imagination is a crucial component of the educator of today and

tomorrow.– The visionary teacher can look at others' ideas and envisage how

they would use these in their class.• Collaborating

– Sharing– Contributing– Adapting– Inventing

• Taking Risks– You must take risks and sometimes surrender yourself to

the students' knowledge.– Have a vision of what you want and what the technology

can achieve,– identify the goals and facilitate the learning,– use the strengths of the digital natives to understand and

navigate new products, have them teach each other,– trust your students.

• Learning– Expect their students to be lifelong learners

• Communicating– Facilitate– Stimulate– Control– Moderate– manage

• Modelling Behavior– Teachers are often the most consistent part of

students’ life, seeing them more often, for longer and more reliably than even students’ parents.

• Leading– Clear goals and objectives– Leadership is crucial to the success or failure

Learning Styles

• There are various learning styles, but I’m using the VARK model for our micro teaching class.

• VARK– VISUAL– AUDIO– READING– KINETICS

• Teaching styles should match our learners’ learning styles!

Arousal Techniques

• Problems or issues or concerns when we teach the class

• How can we arouse our students?• What are arousal techniques?• Which arousal techniques work in what situations?• Should we arouse more often/every

time/rarely/most of the time and why?• When we arouse too often, what effects will they

be?

Questioning Techniques

• How do we know when or what students learn?

• What methods or techniques do we use to check our students knowledge?

• How often do we check our students?
