During lockdown, I've taken the Nat Geo Educator Certification program, I really like their mission to develop explorers for the world.
With the certification program, I had the opportunity to connect with other educators around the world, and learned some valuable skills.
National Geographic Education's mission is to teach kids about the world and how it works, empowering them to succeed and to make it a better place. What is your teaching mission?
With work, family commitment during lockdown, it was a difficult time, but I'm glad there was a deadline, so I can practice the mantra 'It's better done than perfect', otherwise I know I'd spent a lot of time re-recording, re-doing the slides. During these few weeks, I've learned to make a presentation video with the resources I had.
Teachers can also join online learning courses to develop their content knowledge, learn new instructional strategies, or even pursue National Geographic Teacher Certification with other teachers from around the country. Most importantly, teachers will soon be able to join the online National Geographic Educator Network. Here, educators can share ideas, celebrate successes, and gain support in their challenges.
