Educator Bootcamp | Part 1

Online Course for Professionals

To be effective as an educator, there are several qualities, characteristics, and skills that are essential for your success. Educator Bootcamp Part 1 will focus on a variety of characteristics that are required to become a successful educator, including attitude, time management, independent action, teamwork, professionalism and more. You will take a closer look at who you are by identifying areas where you can improve.
It doesn’t matter if you are a brand-new educator or a seasoned professional, this class is a reminder of what it takes to be a Master Educator.

Taking Part 1 prior to Part 2 is not a prerequisite. The concepts covered in Part 2 are not built upon the content of Part 1. The decision to divide the class into two parts was made due to the substantial amount of information encompassing this topic. You have the freedom to take these parts in any order you prefer.
