Who Am I When I Teach? Understanding Teacher Persona

Discover the Powerful Influence of Your Teaching Persona

The learning environment we seek to spark begins with who we are when we teach. Our teacher persona can ignite or impede our engagement at the same time it can ignite or impede students’ engagement as they pursue new ideas.

The teaching persona we bring to our work can set a tone for a productive dynamic, lead us to communicate with clarity, and invite a joy for learning. Too often educators are told, be natural, be yourself, without being given any real guidance as to how to develop an authentic teaching identity that can serve to embolden our teaching and spark student commitment to learning.

To engage in the growth that will enable you and your students to thrive in the classroom, choose the online seminar from Magna Publications, Who Am I When I Teach? Understanding Teaching Persona.
