My Teaching As A 'Teacher of Wisdom'.

Once I found about 'Teacher of Wisdom' Program, I planned, prepared and committed myself to get myself trained as a digital age teacher, acquire the right skills & knowledge and apply my skills to classroom teaching.

I got myself registered in the program, completed my profile and self-assessment questionnaire to know about my current status in teaching. After completion of this initial registration process, I received access to my dashboard and I started learning with 100% flexibility. I observed that all courses were self-paced and I could login at my own time, spend few hours on my learning, however I made my notes, downloaded the files for assignments, read the articles, watched videos and also participated in discussions to receive peer feedback on my projects. It was a really value adding experience to my profile.

I learnt from my peers through the discussion questions and responses. All the learning material was designed keeping in mind the ethical and moral standards of using digital materials. Moreover, the class was respectful and welcoming for the audience.

Each of the course awarded me a certificate of achievement, which I shared on my profile and on my resume. My final award was 'Teacher of Wisdom' that really helped me getting a recognition as a trained and certified teacher, with the knowledge and skills as a 21st century teacher.

During my studies, I always prefer to apply all my knowledge and skills in my classroom teaching practices. The areas of improvement I achieved are:

• I learnt to write activity based lesson plans,

• I felt more confident in teaching,

• My classroom management issues gradually started decreasing,

• My students were more engaged in the classroom,

• My parents not only gave excellent feedback about my teaching, but they started supporting me by helping their children in homework, & sharing new ideas with me as well. My parents became my greatest resource.

• My school administration promoted me as a coordinator in my department to help newly appointed teachers.

• I confidently organized various events like debates, field trips, exploration projects, science fairs, environmental improvement programs, community development programs etc.

So, in a nutshell I became a next level teacher (senior role) with more confidence, and accomplishments added to my profile.
