Online educators. Making school life a success

School classes have seen a complete overhaul after the pandemic created chaos worldwide. Traditional schooling got replaced with online learning to help avoid any learning loss to the students. But it was not enough. Although schools are responsible for bringing quality learning to students, students could barely keep up with their curriculum. This started impacting their learning curve where parents and other related stakeholders got worried about children's future— for the simple reason that students need a firm base to prosper in the future that online learning doesn’t promise.

But as the school and its authorities kept struggling, there was the light at the end of the tunnel. Online educators surfaced in the form of integrated academic solutions. Some of the reasons why schools are opting for integrated academic solutions are:



·        Self-learning: It promotes self-learning where students can learn at their own pace. Every student has their individual needs, and integrated academic solutions serve this well.

·        Inclusivity: Parents usually have been passive players in their child’s academics. However, with this solution, parents can help their children with their academics and trace their performance gaps.

·        Productivity: Integrated solutions automates every school function, which increases productivity across departments. All the manual tasks that students indulge in can now be seamlessly managed.

·        Seamless switching between online/offline/hybrid: Integrated academic solutions help schools switch between online/offline/hybrid models without causing any disruption.

 

The modern-day education space is much more than learning beyond the conventional 4-walled classrooms. Schools these days are getting technologically equipped to provide next-gen education to students. With the help of technology, schools in smaller cities are also getting empowered. Technology no more is a concept of bigger cities. This evolution in schooling brings the need for trained teachers who can efficiently handle online/hybrid school learning. UNESCO says, “Teachers need specific professional development opportunities in order to increase their ability to use ICT for formative learning assessments, individualized instruction, accessing online resources, and for fostering student interaction and collaboration. Such training in ICT should positively impact teachers’ general attitudes towards ICT in the classroom, but it should also provide specific guidance on ICT teaching and learning within each discipline.”

 

When a school partners with integrated academic solutions, besides getting a world-class curriculum for children, undisrupted earnings for students, etc. schools also get trained teachers who are equipped to deal with the online classes and are empowered with skills to make online classes effective.

 

Though many integrated academic and marketing solutions are available, a few names are creating ripples in the education space. Some of the best ones will help schools with:

·        International Standard Curriculum to help students achieve an international standard of education

·        Smart Classrooms to make learning fun at all times

·        Trained teachers to make online classes exciting and to keep boredom away

·        World-class Learning @Home without creating any disruption

·        Unlimited Exposure via Celebrity MasterClasses, Student Championship, Student-Led Conferences, etc.

 

Technology empowering schools in smaller towns

Education space is at an interesting juncture. Technology which was always kept at bay, is now an intrinsic part of progressive schools. Schools in bigger cities have always been proactive in providing futuristic learning; however, schools in smaller cities have always been happy with the traditional form of learning. Little did they know that things would change for them forever (for good), and technology would become their best friend. School authorities in smaller cities live in the notion that perhaps to make technology an essential part of their overall functioning, monumental changes are needed; however, that is incorrect. You have to do partnerships with integrated academic and marketing solutions of credibility and see your school thriving.

It's time for the entire school fraternity to take a lesson from the pandemic and the disruption caused by it and adopt a model that’s beyond the traditional framework and is more robust.
