Module Overview
Welcome to Module 1.
Before we learn how to prepare lesson plans, manage classrooms, assess students, or use technology, we need to understand something more fundamental:
What does it really mean to be a teacher?
Teaching is more than standing in front of a classroom and explaining a topic. A teacher helps learners develop knowledge, skills, attitudes, confidence and the ability to think independently.
In this module, you will learn what teaching means, what teachers actually do, the qualities of an effective teacher, and the meaning of professionalism in teaching.
