The Distance Learning Playbook Module 4

SPS Digital Learning Hour

In today's enlightening installment, our focus is on a crucial topic: Teacher Credibility at a Distance. But don't be fooled! This module isn't just for remote learning situations; it applies to in-person education as well.

In a traditional classroom, teachers have an array of tools to establish credibility with their students. However, in a distance learning environment, the game changes. Physical presence and body language are no longer at play. Instead, we must concentrate on our words and actions to build trust and credibility. Surprisingly, many of the principles discussed in this module are equally applicable when teaching in person.

Why is teacher credibility so vital, you may ask? It directly impacts student engagement. When students perceive their teacher as knowledgeable and competent, they become more interested in the lessons and actively engage with the material. Trust plays a crucial role too. Students are more likely to trust a teacher they perceive as credible, leading to open-mindedness in receiving feedback and a willingness to invest effort in learning. Ultimately, teacher credibility enhances students' academic success, motivating them to give their best effort and achieve their goals.

Join us in this episode as we delve into all aspects of teacher credibility and its profound impact on student learning. I explore practical strategies and insightful tips to establish and maintain credibility in a distance learning environment. If you missed our previous episodes, you can find them in the feed.
