Here at OmniBiz Services, we have a very strong background in education. You could say that education is at our core! Sam is a former high school teacher. Nicole is a special education teacher, and several of our
other team members have family and friends who are teachers.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week this week, we wanted to highlight how our team can help you teach your clients what you want them to know!
Think Like a Teacher
So, you’ve got a great idea that you want to teach to others. That’s great! But it’s not quite as simple as grabbing your camera, recording some videos, and posting them on Facebook. You have to think like a teacher about how you’re going to execute this.
- What are your goals and objectives for this course?
- How are you going to clearly convey your ideas?
- Are you providing training manuals, worksheets, or outlines to reinforce your students’ learning?
- Will your students be on a schedule, or are they learning at their own pace?
- What (if anything) are you using to assess the learning of your students?
There’s a lot to think about when you’re planning even one lesson, let alone a whole course! That’s where we come in.
Those Who Can, Teach!
We’ve definitely got a teacher mindset when it comes to putting together courses and individual lessons, setting SMART Goals , backwards mapping (stay tuned for an upcoming blog about this topic!), and everything else that goes along with creating a clear, coherent course.
Complex topics need to be broken down into smaller, more easily digestible parts in order for students to learn and retain the information. Additionally, the course content needs to be interesting and engaging to the learner.
This can be accomplished by using several different modalities, including:
- Vibrant video presentations
- Power Points
- Interactive manuals and worksheets
- Self-assessments
- Online activities
- Virtual group activities
With professionals designing your course, your ideas will come to life and your students will learn what you want them to learn in order to be successful!
Helping You Help Your Students
As education philosopher Maria Montessori once said, “The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, ’The children are now working as if I did not exist.’”
With a course designed by OmniBiz Services, your students will be able to take your knowledge, retain it, and become successful in their own right. This is essentially the goal of every good teacher, and we can help you reach that goal! Check us out on our LinkedIn and Facebook.
