Teacher of the Month Contest

Updated: Mar 14

Fresh Eyes on Teaching assists educators improve their effectiveness in the classroom through digital video collaboration between teachers. The ability of the instructor to engage their students is critical to overall understanding and achievement. The "how" of what teachers teach is paramount to maximizing student success. There are multiple ways to skin a cat, as there are multiple ways to teach knowledge, skills, and wisdom to students. Some ways work better than others. With teacher effectiveness as the aim, Fresh Eyes on Teaching is hosting an ongoing Teacher-of-the-Month Contest.



See a sample video platform of teachers here. Teachers can secure private access to a video training suite that offers:

  • an interactive, video platform to upload lessons and collaborate with fellow teachers

  • a taggable storage library by topic, subject, date, name, etc. for every teacher

  • a venue for authentic professional development activities with digital badging awards

  • a platform to build curricular and instructional programming for teachers and schools

  • One FREE entry into one Teacher-of-the-Month Contest for each monthly registration

CONTEST INFORMATION

  • Complete registration at https://www.fresh-eyes-on-teaching.org/shop or see multiple plans at https://www.fresh-eyes-on-teaching.org/plans-pricing

  • Wait a day or two to receive login information for access to the exclusive platform

  • Upload a teaching video of yourself engaging your class in a meaningful way

  • Interact with other teachers in a professional manner in giving/receiving feedback

  • Top monthly scores in the automated contest of analytics will be entered into a raffle

Just like a 50/50 raffle but the winner isn't based on luck
