While creating a learning environment is essential for students, it’s also necessary for teachers. It is often an arduous task, with teachers being so busy and having small budgets. Over the past year, they’ve had to adapt and learn on their feet as they switched to online learning. So how do schools create time and space for teacher learning?
“It’s something I’ve been curious about for many years and throughout my career,” said Christy Spivey, VP of Customer Success at Istation. “Even as a classroom teacher, and then moving into edtech, I wondered ‘How do we help teachers? How do we support them? How do we make sure teachers have everything they need, because, in turn, students are going to have everything they need?’”
Spivey elaborated that when you dig into teacher learning, the most crucial aspect is time. One of the most challenging questions to answer is how to make time for teacher learning, including continuous learning.
