Teaching – Tools for progress! – SHMOOP
Individuals who master their industry are amazing to watch. They make it look easy, fun, enjoyable. Becoming an industry expert is the hard part and the part most people “ass-u-me” it comes easy. The classroom is an often-misunderstood environment, and the challenges that take place there are often overlooked, except by teachers and educators!
Intelligence doesn’t independently make you a good teacher, but being a good teacher is the catalyst to increase one’s skill or knowledge at an exponential rate. Beyond skills of teaching, comes the need to analyze, pivot, coach, and progress your class (beyond ALL the other stuff you must do).
If you’re a teacher you’re most likely analyzing data from your class, improving your technique of communication, researching and improving teaching methods, customizing curriculum and doing your best to help your class succeed.
Over the last 100+ years industries have relied on improvement of tools to gain faster progress. Medical professionals use better scanning devices & tools for operating on patients. Imagine the tools and medication used 100 years ago to perform an operation vs today. Things like phones/tablets, transportation, our homes and so much more continues to evolve, there is one common theme used in all these industries as the catalysis to drive progress…better tools.
If someone wants to develop a new medication to cure an illness or disease, technology is often utilized to analyze data and find faster solutions. If a surgeon wants to understand a patient’s condition prior to operating, a 3D scan can help the doctor digitally investigate a patient’s mind or body, to help prepare for how to solve the issues at hand. If an architect wants to design a house, they utilize technology to acquire the optimal angle to the sun, viewpoints of how the home will look aesthetically, analysis to maximize airflow & space. Masters of industry utilize the best tools to help them master their trade.
