Voici comment vous pouvez explorer diverses méthodologies d’enseignement par le biais du travail temporaire et contractuel.

Temporary and contract teaching positions offer unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to choose when and where you work. This flexibility can be a gateway to discovering new teaching methodologies. For example, a short-term role in a Montessori school could introduce you to student-led learning, while a stint in an international baccalaureate program might expose you to inquiry-based education. Each assignment is a chance to implement different techniques and see how they fit with your teaching style and philosophy.

Explorar diversas metodologías de enseñanza a través del trabajo temporal y por contrato es como ser un plomero que trabaja en diferentes casas con distintos clientes. Cada casa presenta desafíos únicos y requiere herramientas y técnicas específicas.

Esta experiencia variada te ayuda a identificar las estrategias más efectivas, enriqueciendo tu práctica profesional y mejorando tu capacidad para enfrentar cualquier reto educativo que encuentres.

Uma das vantagens de trabalhar temporariamente é a oportunidade de observar diferentes ambientes escolares e entender como cada equipe funciona dentro de cada contexto. Essa experiência permite ao profissional ter uma visão ampla e diversificada das práticas pedagógicas, dos métodos de gestão e da cultura institucional das escolas. Além disso, será mais fácil identificar em quais ambientes e dinâmicas de trabalho você se sente mais confortável e satisfeito, ajudando a determinar onde você gostaria de trabalhar a longo prazo.

Refresh and Reset. There are times in your life when you have to refresh your thoughts. Am I still following the path of what I believed I wanted to do as a child? Am I following the goals and dreams my parents and loved ones set for me? You have to leave the plans that your parents had for you behind when they don't line up with what you believe anymore. Refresh your plan. Live out your dream. Live out loud and live life on purpose with purpose. Reset yourself. Reset your own goals and views. Reset your life and prioritize your mental/physical health. Being in the company of many can be good, but when people earn the privilege of being in your presence, that's when you've reset your life. You're more than others ever expected.

Consider seeking out contract work opportunities that offer exposure to diverse classroom environments and teaching models. Embrace the opportunity to work in different educational settings, such as traditional public schools and progressive charter schools, to experience a range of teaching methodologies and approaches. Adapt to each new environment by applying various strategies, such as cooperative learning or technology-integrated instruction, to meet the unique needs of students and the demands of the curriculum.

No obstante, sabemos que las personas tienen la necesidad de sentirse partícipes del proyecto y si queremos que además de conocimientos y habilidades, pongan también el corazón, hay que tratar de crear vínculos. Si las contrataciones no son estables, las personas no se vincularán y si no se vinculan, no hay amor, y la de Docencia es como poco, un 50% de amor.

To achieve this, actively seek out temporary assignments that offer opportunities to learn and apply new teaching methods. Embrace the challenge of quickly adapting to different educational settings and methodologies, such as differentiated instruction or project-based learning. Treat each contract position as a valuable learning experience that can accelerate your professional growth and skill development. Engage wholeheartedly in these temporary roles, taking advantage of the chance to expand your teaching repertoire and refine your instructional techniques. Reflect on your experiences, identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, and leverage the knowledge gained from each assignment to enhance your teaching practice.

What I like in my field is that I never stop to learn. There is always something new, something different. Each new assignment is an opportunity to learn, gain new knowledge, and expand my skillset.

Cabe preguntarse sobre Qué es lo nuevo? Creo que es mejor pensar en qué es lo mejor para este estudiante o para esta persona.

Contract and temporary work opens up numerous networking opportunities within the education sector. You'll meet other educators and administrators, each with their own insights into effective teaching methodologies. These connections can lead to knowledge exchange and may even open doors to future employment opportunities or collaborations that can further enrich your teaching practice.

Cuando la educación entendida como un derecho humano, como una responsabilidad social y como una oportunidad de libertad del individuo dejó de construirse como red? Es un desvío a corregir. La propia naturaleza del fenómeno es en red.

In my experience, taking on a temp role as an adjunct lecturer for adult learners in a virtual higher ed setting challenged me in many ways. In order to reach students, it required me to revamp my methods for collaboration and engagement, try out new instruction strategies, and learn about topics outside of my purview. I was fortunate that my students were attuned to their own needs and open to sharing feedback on my teaching approach. I reflected on their responses by answering these questions about my semester, which in turn allowed me to add new skills to my toolkit: When did I feel most confident? What was most challenging? What were the main goals of the semester? Were those goals met? What would I do differently next time?

Being flexible is such an important skill since every student is different and you need to adjust accordingly. Learn how to tailor resources and teaching styles to match the student and the environment they're in

There is no student like an other and each teaching environment is different from the other. That is why getting a chance to develop your adaptability skills as a teacher is a must. By being able to adapt your teaching skills and methods to the need of each student will make your experience and theirs unforgettable.

Almost 25 years ago, while I was still working as a Chartered Accountant; it was my stint as a Visiting faculty for about 2.5 years teaching across BMS, BCom and MCom programs that helped me make up my mind to quit the job and start pursuing a PhD. That stint was indeed a turning point for me. It has been an amazing journey so far and for that I am grateful to my professors & to my students!
