KOTESOL National Conference 2018
(Special Guest Workshop)
Scott Berlin, American University of Kuwait
Developing Your Faculty
Abstract
Today’s technological revolution has created a border all teachers must face: crossing into the digital age of learning. Students born in the digital age have an ever increasing array of internet and smart phone learning tools that allow them to learn much differently than previous generations. Today’s teachers must adapt to meet the students in this new frontier. But what if you are a department head, director, or principal, how do you motivate and develop your teachers to willingly embrace new technology and change the way they teach?
This workshop is for leaders, directors, or any faculty member who wants to learn methods and tools that help you create a culture among your teachers of inspiration, engagement, and a willingness to adopt new ways of teaching that are more effective with today’s digital students. A new paradigm of your institutions organization will be presented as well as where your best resources are and creative ways for faculty to engage in their own professional development.
