Course Overview
A New Era of Teaching: Improving Performance Through Metacognition
In 2017-2018 researchers estimated the teacher shortage to be about 110,000. In a profession that loses 50% of its workforce in the first five years of their careers. Now that we are experiencing a global pandemic, it’s safe to assume stress is at an all-time high for educators.
A teacher can have all the latest techniques, plan great lessons, and exemplary classroom management strategies, but to be an educator and stick with it long enough to get good at it, teachers need a level of emotional resilience most other jobs will never require. In this course, Michael Bonner teaches you how to overcome professional doubt, introduce effective pedagogical strategies, provide tools that will help educators gain confidence and become the best version of themselves for their students.

"This course is packed with forward thinking information to help our students reach their full potential. As a school social worker I found myself nodding my head with the shift that is required to meet the student needs of today. This course is filled with refreshing content to re-examine your why. Self-care and introspection are necessary in the education world and in order to avoid burnout. Thank you Michael Bonner for putting together a well thought out and engaging course! -Elizabeth Kroening, MSW, LCSW"
