Current on Innovation


Practitioners of education stay current on innovations in learning. They regularly attend webinars, conferences and professional workshops. They carve out personal time for exploring new software or websites beneficial for students and the wider institution. Ideally, they often contribute to associations which provide avenues for networking. This thinking provides a high standard teachers should aspire to.

    Greetings to you Carol,
    The importance of staying current with innovations in education cannot be stated enough. It is crucial for educators to continuously engage in professional development through webinars, conferences and workshops to ensure they remain informed about the latest tools, techniques, and trends that can enhance student learning. Carving out personal time to explore new software or educational websites is a proactive approach to adapting to the fast-evolving digital landscape.

It's about making sure educators are equipped to lead students through the challenges and opportunities presented by a technology-driven world.
