What could be?

Teachers need a coach to design a learning environment and to guide them through it, helping them to stay on track and to set achievable goals for themselves, just like students, in order to grow in their abilities as successful teachers.

Gershom Tave can help your teachers to produce multi-sensory, engaging and student-centered lessons. Just watch the video above to see more!

Coaching can create an environment of collaboration, communication and exploration among your teachers such that professional development for teaching staff becomes teacher-centered. The teachers become continuous professional students of education, constantly pushing themselves and each other to become better designers of students' learning environments.

In fact, Gershom Tave would also work with educational technologists to wean teachers of their support rather than leave teachers dependent on them for content which only stifles student creativity rather than encouraging it. Ultimately, the successful coach becomes largely redundant for the now-independent teacher-learner and serves only as an occasional consultant to help track progress and development of the model.

The benefits can be enormous, not only in terms of happier, more successful students, but also in the school's budget.

Well-trained teachers who design effective learning environments which engage multiple learning modalities and encourage students to learn at their own level provide enrichment and remediation in the main stream without hiring extra staff for enrichment and remediation.

Schools in which the students own the learning need fewer teachers as they can support a higher student-teacher ratio while still providing plenty of face-to-face time.

Teachers who become independent and collaborative learners of effective design of student-learning environments can provide quality in-house professional development saving many thousands of dollars from the budget.

Schools which engage a well-designed Learning Management System communicate effectively and efficiently and save thousands of dollars on printing costs.
