Voici comment vous pouvez surmonter les défis en tant qu’éducateur dans des postes temporaires ou contractuels.

Temporary educators can prosper by fostering a robust professional ecosystem, embracing a mindset of continuous illumination, showcasing their pedagogical prowess, exhibiting adaptability and resilience, prioritizing holistic well-being, and cultivating symbiotic relationships.

Just be yourself, and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Build relationships with your students, their parents, and your peers. Be professional, really teach with all your heart, and you will be unforgettable to your students and highly recommendable when the position is over.

Invest time in building relationships with your students, colleagues, and administrators. This strong foundation will provide you with support and understanding throughout your time at the school.

Establecer una buena relación con los estudiantes es especialmente complejo para los profesores sustitutos. Los buenos profesores suelen trabar relaciones con su alumnado que se basan en el respeto y aquellos que no lo imponen, sino que se lo ganan, son difíciles de sustituir. Es por ello por lo que siempre hay que partir del punto que ha dejado el profesor anterior y seguir la misma línea educativa antes de intentar establecer la metodología propia. Solo así puede establecerse una relación positiva con los estudiantes y que estos estén dispuestos a aprehender del nuevo profesor.

Overcoming challenges as an educator in temporary or contract positions can be tough but consider staying flexible and focusing on connections. 1. Build relationships with students and colleagues to create a supportive community that makes your work more enjoyable. 2. Set clear expectations to keep everything on track and be open to constructive feedback to encourage personal growth. 3. Stay organized with lesson plans and manage your time wisely to reduce stress. 4. Embrace professional development to sharpen your skills and boost your confidence. 5. And finally, maintain a positive outlook and reflect on your impact, you might turn challenges into meaningful experiences for everyone involved.

Agreed! Altering lesson plans on the fly, as mentioned, may include having your own lessons available that are relevant to the content area should you be a last minute guest teacher. Students love a break in routine and teaching what you love is better than a default study hall. Consider teaching a favorite poem, a close reading of two opposing viewpoints, guided research into advancements in medicine or technology, or what happened “on this date” ten, twenty, or 100 years ago.

Be adaptable and willing to learn new things. The educational landscape is constantly evolving, so a willingness to embrace change will be essential for your success.

Hay una premisa fundamental necesaria de entender para los profesores sustitutos: no pueden planificarse objetivos a largo plazo, no puede intentar uno "hacer escuela". Aunque esto parece obvio, los profesores temporales suelen ser aquellos que menos experiencia y más ganas de enseñar tienen y esto puede hacer que quieran introducir innovaciones y cambios tan positivos como idealistas, si se tiene en cuenta el tiempo del que disponen. Es por eso que es más valioso, tanto para el alumnado como para el profesor y su relación con el resto del claustro, centrarse en pequeños objetivos a corto plazo, intentando mantener la metodología previa y alterando los contenidos o viceversa.

Keeping one's knowledge and teaching methods is always a must. Personally, I always keep my methods updated by enrolling on numerous internationally recognized courses like TESOL. This helps me stay in touch withvthe latest findings and optimize my techniques continuously.

Continuously seek out professional development opportunities to improve your skills and knowledge. This will make you a more effective educator and help you stay ahead of the curve.

Set clear expectations for your students at the beginning of the semester or year. This will help to create a more structured and productive learning environment.

Some ways to get started include organizing your time by knowing the school schedule, organizing materials by accessing learning platforms in advance, and developing a relationship with a specific school community so you are better received as a school member.

One thing I’ve found helpful is to chaperone field trips, help a school club, or assist at sporting events which allow for interpersonal conversations with students and staff. When students feel known they will rise to your classroom expectations. Likewise, staff members will trust you and appreciate your presence.
