A look back at the #TeachersTips Campaign

We recently saw our 5-week social media campaign, #TeachersTips, come to an end. 

Aimed at helping teachers and home-educators get back into the swing of schooling, the campaign utilised a series of educational Talking Heads videos and quotes from education experts Andrew Jeffrey, Debbie Roberts, Bob Kibble and Tony Cotton. 

The videos each answered key questions such as ‘how do I teach problem-solving’, ‘how do I build resilience’ and the role of effective questioning, all of which support essential skills development.

The campaign was a great success, with a focus on five different themes and skills: resilience; effective questioning; problem-solving; group work; and collaboration, each of which educators can incorporate into their classrooms. 

One person left this comment on one of our resilience posts: 

“Love this. It's so relevant right now. Alongside critical thinking, it might be one of the most important skills to learn at any stage of life" - Paul 

If you found this campaign helpful as a teacher, home-educator or parent, let us know at caribbean@macmillaneducation.com - we would love to hear from you!

Or if you haven’t seen the campaign already, check it out on our social media channels using the hashtag #TeachersTips!
