Leadership in an Online Classroom

 

To create a healthy learning environment, it is important to promote classroom leadership. It should be both practice - the teacher and both students should develop and practice leadership in the classroom to make eLearning work and rewarding.

 

Here are some ways teachers and students can practice leadership in online classrooms.

 

Teacher Techniques

 

Empowering Students

 

A student does not become a leader without the support of his teachers. In the classroom, there are students of different personalities and teachers need to make sure that all students have equal opportunities for growth and prosperity. For this, teachers need to set their expectations and inform their students about it as well as provide them with all the resources, tools and most importantly, to support them. Once students know what is expected of them, what tools and resources are available to them and what their teachers can do for them, they will be able to plan and walk the path of empowerment and independence.

 

Promoting Communication

 

Communication is the key to a successful classroom session. Because you as a teacher find the subject you are teaching interesting, this may not be true of your students. The teacher should make an effort to make his lessons interesting and another good way to do that is to encourage participation in the classroom, and for this to happen, communication is essential.

 

The teacher should go beyond saying "your questions are always welcome" or "I am always available to help you if there are any doubts or problems" and make the class more focused on students.

 

Learning to communicate effectively is very important in developing leadership skills. A good leader is able to deliver a message to his audience. When a teacher encourages this in his classroom, students will inevitably develop such skills.

 

Correct Testing

 

The student may not know what he is doing right or wrong. That is why the teacher needs access to them. There are various ways to test student performance in online teaching mode. However, assessment means not only providing marks and answers but also finding information and a gap in students' comprehension and coping skills.

 

The teacher should try and encourage the art of self-awareness in his students. A leader must be aware of his or her shortcomings and what he or she needs to develop, therefore, self-awareness is essential.

 

Student Methods

 

Best Conversations

 

Students learn best when their class is interactive and social. The student should share his thoughts and ideas and lead discussions and discussions in his / her classroom within and around the topic being discussed. Every student can add value to the classroom and learn from each other if they are not hesitant to lead discussions.

 

Actively Participate in Group Designs

 

Team projects are a great way to hone leadership skills. The student gets in touch with other students who may have different personalities, thoughts and beliefs. Doing projects together helps them not only to learn from each other but also to develop a leader's habit.

 

In a group project, students themselves post tasks, collaborate collaboratively and get their work done. This student approach helps them learn important leadership skills.

 

Final Words

 

Studying online is not just about bringing lectures and students to sit and stare at their screens. It is more than that and both students and teachers should know. Encouraging participatory participation and active participation from the end of students encourages holistic development.
