Use Your Summer to Add to Your Teaching Skills | Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union

The team at Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union understands that school being out for summer usually means a break from education. However, while you take a break from “teaching” this summer, you may want to focus on learning instead to bring different ideas to the classroom in August.

Recharge This Summer the Knowledgeable Way

Improve upon your experiences this summer by learning more about not only yourself—but the field in which your passion lies, which is teaching.

Get involved as much as you can in the community during the summer. Not only is community involvement a great addition to your resume, but it also helps show how committed you are to the community in which you live and work. It also can help you make connections within the community. The new people you meet can come visit your classroom to read to your students, teach them hobbies or skills, or even talk about their professions.

Also, take time to see if there are any educational seminars that you can attend over the summer in order to learn new and improved techniques when it comes to teaching students. Perhaps there are certain activities that can help students become more involved in the lessons. Maybe there’s a new way to introduce technology into the classroom. Or maybe there are ways to help make creating lesson plans less of a chore. As in any field, there are always processes in place that have room for improvement. Use your free time as an opportunity to learn how to get your students to be more involved and excited about learning.

Remember, knowledge is power. The more you learn, the more you can share with the future leaders of tomorrow.
