21st Century Teacher Attributes

I'm wondering what your vision is for a 21st century teacher. Here's the vision that leads me.

- Life Long Learner

- Knowledge Expert:

- Nurturer:

- Tech Savvy

- Project Base Learning Facilitator

- RTI/Differentiation: Looks at every learner as an individual and responds to that individual with apt programs, lessons, materials and tools.

- Process Oriented: Recognizes that education is an evolving practice, and regularly takes time to reflect, review and revise the work he/she does for best effect.

- Environmental Designer

- Coach, Mentor and Guide: Recognizes that in this age of information excess, the priority should be on learning how to learn rather than the acquisition of discrete sets of knowledge, hence the teacher serves as a coach, mentor and guide in this endeavor. With that in mind, however, the teacher also recognizes that some discrete sets of knowledge are necessary and coaches students using the best, research-based materials to attain that knowledge, skill and concept.

- A Student of Cognition: The teacher is a brain coach who embeds the latest research in cognition to develop learning modules that mirror what we understand to be the best ways to build learning flexibility, content and strength.

- Collaborator: The teacher understands that he/she will never know it all or be the best teacher for all students. With this knowledge, the teacher develops his/her repertoire related to collaboration, teamwork and shared decision making, instruction.

- Communicator: The teacher regularly communicates the important information related to his/her practice, vision, goals and work in order to enlist the support of the learning team and community. The communication includes conferences, written correspondence via the Internet or paper/pencil and multimedia composition with portfolios and other communication vehicles.

- Manager: The teacher manages his/her environment and learning team with skill. He/she is attuned to the community's needs as a group and as individuals, and responds as such.

In one of my previous post entitled what every teacher should know about google. reference was made to the notions of the 21st century learner and how these learners depend wholly on media and social networking to live in this fast_paced world. In today’s post i will present two short videos that will hopefully change what some think about teaching. The following videos are among the top educative videos online .

With the advance of technological innovations into our lives , education has been radically transformed and teachers who do not use social media and educational technology in thier teaching no longer fit in the new system.That’s why every educator and teacher should reconsider certain values and principles . watch this first one minute 40 seconds video to see the negative side that every teacher must not have
