Teacher's Digest

Empowering Teachers of the 21st Century

Welcome to the Teachers’ Digest!

It is not another magazine or information source. Rather, it seeks to counter the ‘information overload’. It is a dedicated professional resource aimed at empowering teachers through online education programs and dissemination of relevant educational information. It gives professional reading and online learning a new dimension with its interactive features that seeks to supplement teachers’ education degree.

The education degree is outdated in the way it equips teachers to tackle real classroom situations. And the teaching qualification doesn’t help the tech-challenged teachers to deal with the tech-savvy problem children. Beside, a teacher has to be well versed with the latest in the online education as most competitive exams are already in online mode or moving towards it. Students have already adapted online learning and taking keen interest in formal and informal online education courses. That’s why, there is an urgent need to supplement teachers’ education with refresher capsules. And the Teacher’s Digest is intended to fulfill this need.

While basic values are eternal, evolution is a perennial process, more so in the education world. In this digital era, education needs to emphasize more on the life-skills and attitudinal development. Although the education degree or teaching degree prepares teachers for teaching school curriculum, it is not adequate to provide the holistic education in these rapidly changing times when every student has access to online learning courses. With the advent of internet and resulting information explosion, the real challenge is to get hold of the really relevant ideas avoiding the energy sink of sorting the useful from the mass. In fact, it has become a daunting task for a teacher to effectively and efficiently scan all the relevant sources to stay updated. Here the Teacher’s Digest enters the scene to provide an efficient knowledge platform to the teachers. The bimonthly Teacher’s Digest helps teachers with curriculum, assessment, teaching programs and other student needs. Its online programs not only update teachers professionally but also empower them personally by acquainting them with the relevant information on career, teaching jobs, health, relationships and financial planning covering finance, debt, credit report, insurance, investment issues etc. That’s why, working teachers consider the Teacher’s Digest a great professional development resource, and students- pursuing education degree or online teaching degree- find it a great distance-learning program.

Teachers are instrument of change, but curriculum-centric approach limits their exposure to new ideas. In these ever-changing times, the Teacher’s Digest  helps teachers to establish a balance between child centric and curriculum centric education. It also prepares teachers to take on the challenge of change, and effectively manage their career and teaching responsibilities.

Are you ready to take on the challenge of change or will you get overtaken by the change?
