At Educator's Academy, we believe that teachers and school leaders are a valuable source of knowledge, experience, and wisdom that should be shared. Like a farmers market for educators, we connect those with something valuable to share with those that want to learn.
Whether sharing an amazing curriculum unit or developing a semester-long learning experience for teachers, Educator's Academy allows you to be part of a larger community of course authors. This gives potential course participants a single place to come for learning making it easy for people to find and enroll in your course. And Educator's Academy's handles all the back end logistics.
Educator's Academy empowers people with valuable knowledge and skills to generate a revenue stream. You set the price for the course, you maintain full ownership of it's content, and you get paid every time someone enrolls.
Building a course is free! Once published, your courses become a hands-off revenue stream. Educator's Academy will promote the course catalogue and develop customers for you. You can also use your professional network to promote your course to increase your enrollments and your revenue.
Educator's Academy collects all the enrollment fees and sends you a check four times a year. Your only investment is your time.
Organizations with an existing training capacity can benefit leveraging digital courses published on Educator's Academy either in combination with, or as an alternative to, in-person events.
Using digital courses before, during, and after onsite training can multiply the impact of in-person events by expanding opportunities to engage with the content and insuring onsite time is used most effectively.
Digital courses can also be used by organization that want to deliver training experiences and want a scalable solution that can reach a large customer base efficiently.
Education reform efforts and teacher training organizations are seemingly everywhere, but shrunken school budgets for release time, sub shortages, and district travel bans keep even the best ideas and practices from getting shared. In person training events are expensive and hard to scale. Virtual training struggle to engage and connect with participants.
Educator's Academy's unique approach that blends high quality digital content with local capacity building allows great practices to be shared at scale while personalizing the adult learning experience to the school and teachers participating.
Relying on in person training events limits your impact to your ability to deliver them. Publishing a course on Educator's Academy means you can impact an unlimited number educators and students across the globe. And best of all, you can do that without the hassles of traveling to schools.
Relying on half-day, full-day, or even week-long drive-by training events to meaningfully change teacher behavior at scale goes against what we know is best for learners of all ages. Effective professional development is not an event, it's a process. Educator's Academy courses are designed to span longer periods of time and build in cycles of learning, practice, reflection, and refinement to create a sustained professional development experience in a way that is both effective and cost effective.
We've identified three course models for digital learning experiences and our platform supports them all.
It’s this last category we're most excited about because it addresses the limitations of self-paced courses and the logistical challenges of flying in an expert to conduct training.
Educator's Academy leverages Dawn, a digital course technology developed by Agilix, that allows for the creation of video-centric courses that can reach learners anywhere. in addition to video content, course authors can included dozens of interaction types to help the learner check their understanding including flash cards, sorting activities, labelled graphics activities, and traditional quizzing. Dawn can even translate your course into other languages. To learn more about Dawn's course authoring features, click here.
While taking a course as an individual can be valuable, taking a course as part of a school- or district-based cohort can be much more powerful and effective. Educator's Academy platform allows for a local facilitator to monitor participant progress and act as a guide for the learning process without having to be a content expert. A school, department, or grade level could decide to purchase enrollments in bulk and use the course as the foundation for a shared professional growth experience.
