Engaged Educators

There’s no question that teachers play an important role in student performance. Studies have shown that students who have high-quality teachers will often achieve more academically than those who do not. This is true at all levels, from primary through secondary. It’s no wonder that school districts, as well as state and federal governments, want to help teachers develop skills to become more effective in the classroom.

Few online technologies are designed to help teachers self-reflect and provide personalised feedback to improve educator effectiveness. That’s why GoReact has emerged as a go-to solution for K12 districts in support of teacher growth. GoReact provides more opportunities for practise, modeling, self-reflection and collaboration. Teachers not only receive more feedback, they can share videos among district teams and review videos of themselves to build strong reflective practise.

Not all teachers benefit from a one-size-fits-all approach to professional learning. Micro-credentials, performance-based assessments that allow teachers to demonstrate a competency, provide teachers with an individualised learning experience aligned to personal or school/MAT/LA goals. Micro-credentials allow districts to make professional learning more meaningful and relevant.

The best tool for demonstrating skills for micro-credentials? GoReact. Teachers can use GoReact to capture and submit videos of themselves teaching, walking through a lesson plan, or reflecting on a question. Mentors or coaches can then tag evidence of competencies with customised progressions, markers, and personalised feedback. GoReact is a flexible, streamlined tool designed to support a personalised approach to professional learning.

After subsiding for two years during the worst of Covid, the UK teacher shortage is resurfacing.The surge in interest to become a teacher amid the uncertainty of the pandemic has diminished as the greater labour market has revived. For those who have chosen to leave the profession, influential factors include inadequate pay, long hours, and a lack of staff/time to provide proper mentoring for teacher trainees.

With simple, EU cloud-based tools for recording and sharing videos, providing targeted feedback, and self-reflecting, GoReact gives teachers personalised support during their induction programme, so the strain on teaching staff to mentor new trainees is lightened. It also provides opportunities for peer engagement and professional learning. GoReact empowers schools, MATs and LAs to respond to the needs of individual teachers and personalise instructional support and professional learning—all while saving teachers and administrators time.
