The Oxford University Press ELT team has published this useful article on online teacher training.
At OUP we’ve been running online teacher training since 2011, so we know what makes a great webinar! Today I’m sharing my 5 top tips for optimising your online teacher training with us, so you can focus on getting the most out of your valuable time (and leave the rest to us).
1. Connect with a global community
Technology brings us together and it gives us the chance to share ideas. Our teaching community is at the heart of everything we do, and attending our global online teacher training is a great opportunity to connect with teachers around the world. We often see attendees from more than 100 countries joining our global webinars! This kind of connection feels even more important during the pandemic, at a time when teachers can feel more isolated than ever and education is in varying situations around the world. You might get to chat with teachers who have gone back to a socially distanced classroom, or who are only just going online.
2. Be selective and personalize your experience
How do you learn best? What topics matter to you most? At OUP we work to provide training on trending topics at a variety of times, so there’s something for everyone.
