21st century educator/teacher:

▪ 1. Be Able to Foster Student Relationships; to have the

ability to facilitate interpersonal relationships within the
classroom so that students will have a sense of community and
be able to communicate with their peers on a higher level than
just social media
▪ 2. Teaching Strategies to Be Able to Teach to All Learners;
the ability to differentiate learning so that all students are able
to learn using their own unique style and/or by their ability or
readiness level.

12
 Characteristics teachers need to have in order
to be a 21st century educator/teacher:

for it. A critical thinker.
▪ 4. Be Able to Embrace Change; the ability to embrace
change is an essential characteristic of a 21st century
teacher. With the rapid changes in technology and the way
that students learn, educators must be able to embrace
change and adapt to it, not only in technology but in
education as well.

 Some terms to think about …….
▪ Individualisation Support
▪ Participation Collaborative
▪ Relevance Variety
▪ Praise Pacing
▪ Rapport Instructions
▪ Engagement Feedback
▪ Personalisation Motivation

16
▪ Individualisation – try to understand and respond to
the needs of each learner as far as you can.
▪ Supporting the learners is key – learning can be seen
as traumatic and stressful.
▪ Participation of ALL learners is critical
▪ Collaborative allows idea and opinion-sharing.
▪ Relevance to the day-to-day classroom maximises
motivation.

17
▪ Varieties of activity types keep learners focussed.
▪ Praise – learners love and need this!
▪ Pacing makes the lessons feel dynamic and increases
engagement.
▪ Rapport needs to be generated from day one. How will
you do this?
▪ Instructions need to be simple, clear and supported by
demonstration.

18
▪ Engagement means the learners are active and
involved.
▪ Feedback is there to support and facilitate
improvement, not to punish!
▪ Personalisation of content brings it to life.
▪ Motivation boosts learners attitude.
