BetterLesson Helps Teachers Grow
Teaching is not an easy job, and while a teacher is ultimately responsible for the educational growth and development of his or her own students, at least in a specific subject, everyone could use a little help and support. This is where a startup called BetterLesson aims to help. In its creators’ words, it empowers teachers to drive their own personal learning by utilizing personalized coaching to help them discover what works best in their particular curriculum and develop instructional strategies they can tailor to their particular students. It does this by offering an online community of professional educators with years of experience based on the premise that many professionals receive coaching of some kind or another and this should not exclude the field of education. BetterLesson also offers a database of lessons and resources organized by education professionals.
The process BetterLesson, which features tech support for access via any PC or mobile device, employs is essentially three steps. Firstly, a teacher pairs with a personal virtual coach with whom he or she can discuss lesson planning, personalized learning, curriculum, or any number of things. Together, teachers and coaches can work to identify the major challenges they are dealing with and develop a strategy with which they can most effectively deal with these difficulties. Finally, teachers can work with their coaches or use the site’s massive database to try a variety of proven educational strategies and learn which ones best apply to the specific needs of their particular classrooms. BetterLesson guarantees that all coaches are master teachers with years of experience and the most expertise in their fields.
With BetterLesson, an individual’s computer repair needs do not hinder the chance to grow and develop as a teacher, as they can use any school PC or mobile device should the need arise. Users can pair with a coach by either subject or grade depending upon their needs and can browse the available organized content in the same way. There are over 16,000 lessons organized by master teachers to browse including the explanation of common core concepts and strategies, science projects, and the concept of “blended learning,” or the mix of traditional teaching with web or technology-based learning. There are also practical lessons available to teachers from educators who have faced the same difficulties, such as catering to the individual needs of each student while allowing the class to progress as a whole. All in all, it is clear to see that BetterLesson can be an invaluable tool for any teacher’s professional development.
