The title of teacher has never given justice to the countless roles an educator actually plays. Teachers do more than just teach. We coach. We listen. We plan. We cheer. When a student feels down or alone, we come to their side and help them overcome their struggles. When a student makes a bad choice and hurts others, we help them understand their actions and learn from their mistakes. Teachers balance many responsibilities, so it\u2019s difficult to define the official job description.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As we\u00a0progress\u00a0towards increasingly\u00a0personalized classrooms, the role of an educator is beginning to shift. Teachers still play many of the same roles as before, but as classroom dynamics change to become more student-centric, teachers will increasingly rely on their role as coach. As some say, educators are becoming less the sage on the stage<\/em> and more the guide on the side<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I was fortunate to attend the recent NewSchools Venture Fund Summit<\/a>, where I came away with the theme, among others, of\u00a0the evolving roles of teachers and schools in educating our youth. \"guideAt the Summit, hundreds of people working in education and the reform thereof came together to connect, share new developments and inspire each other to continue pushing forward. As a practitioner, I explored and engaged in breakout sessions focused on teacher experiences, from which I learned about several shifts in our current systems.<\/p>\n

Students own their learning; teachers\u00a0facilitate\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is an idea that I\u2019ve echoed in several of my previous posts<\/a>. In essence, classrooms are looking less like lecture-style rooms with all desks facing towards the teacher and more like collaborative spaces where learners can access the resources around them. Teachers spend less time sharing knowledge and content in hopes that students catch on, and more time encouraging students to reach their goals and supporting with the all-so-important\u00a0human touch. As students take hold of their learning through a variety of modalities (small group instruction, project based learning, virtual online learning, etc.), educators can focus on helping students develop self-advocacy and grit, giving them the life skills they\u2019ll need to succeed beyond their classroom and education.<\/p>\n

Teachers are\u00a0the pioneers and designers of personalized learning within their own classroom<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Effective blended learning systems do not depend on the right software or hardware; rather, they depend on having the right teachers and designers. Around the country, both charter and traditional district schools are developing innovative models for personalized learning. Some are hiring expert consultants while others are relying on the old trial and error method. In every case, the schools produce their own valuable learnings, and each model is designed to match the needs of that respective classroom and community. Every case is different.<\/p>\n

But at the core of each redesign, we find teachers need to develop the models and strategies, since they know their students most. Moreover, teachers need to embrace the skills of piloting structures, exploring different iterations and constantly redesigning to improve their systems. Essentially, teachers are the best\u00a0pioneers at the forefront and thus must take efficient risks to find what works best in their classrooms.<\/p>\n

System-wide changes will\u00a0allow for effective\u00a0personalized learning<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

In order to foster these evolutions in school models, various educational systems also need to adjust. Teacher preparation\u00a0programs must offer training in blended learning strategies. Schools need to recruit ideal blended learning instructors, even perhaps targeting different types of players in an instructional team (logistics, content lead, executor, etc.). Entities within local governments \u2013 school boards and districts, teacher unions and local\u00a0governments themselves \u2013 need to adapt\u00a0funding to ensure technology is available for our students. We need to unite behind\u00a0the common goal of figuring out what\u2019s best for our students.<\/p>\n

With the NewSchools Venture Fund, we see many charter schools and networks who are given the freedom to try what works best and, in effect, have revolutionized the way we can personalize education for all learners. With more and more innovative schools, we can challenge the conventional classroom and school systems, pressure various entities to keep up with educational reform and, in the end, give every student the education they deserve.<\/p>\n
