Teachers are evolving into content creators, bloggers, video producers, animators, etc. in addition to teaching and meeting their curriculum demands. This workshop will provide some insight as to why Teachers should consider building their own BRAND to increase and sustain their memorability factor in the classroom. It will examine the importance of branding and the potential of looking at students as “clients or customers” and educators as service-providers. Can this branding mindset improve the quality of teaching in general?
