Our teachers go beyond just teaching. We not only offer knowledgeable subject matter experts but also life coaches who can help you get back on track. Through their conduct and attitude, our educators embody hope, tenacity, perseverance, accountability, and encouragement.
Role of the Educator
Our dedicated team of educators is the cornerstone of our mission to help adults achieve their diploma goals. Our caring teachers are not only subject matter experts but also collaborative, attentive, and exemplary role models. They are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed. With personalized attention and a passion for teaching, our instructors go above and beyond to ensure that each adult learner has the tools and confidence needed to thrive academically and beyond.
At TexasWorks, our dedicated Campus Life Coaches play a crucial role in ensuring that adult learners achieve their academic and personal goals. With backgrounds in social work, our Life Coaches are equipped to address a diverse array of student needs.
They serve as Student Service Liaisons, connecting students to vital community resources for housing, food, income, and citizenship challenges. They provide immediate mental health support and personalized care plans, ensuring students have access to licensed counselors for ongoing therapy. Academic advising is another cornerstone of their role, offering personalized guidance on career pathways and higher education opportunities. Additionally, they facilitate workshops on resume writing, scholarship essays, and time management.
Career counseling and job placement services are integral to our Life Coaches’ mission. They help students set professional goals, conduct career assessments, and establish partnerships with industry leaders for job shadowing, internships, and placements.
SUBJECT EXPERTS
At TexasWorks, every teacher is a subject matter expert who is dedicated to mastering their craft. They possess a keen understanding of their content area and use their expertise to break down complex concepts in ways that help students learn. By addressing misconceptions, closing knowledge gaps, and promoting practical integration of knowledge, they ensure students receive a quality education.
COLLABORATIVE
Our school believes in a collaborative teaching method where teachers work together to create a dynamic learning environment. Instead of teacher-led lectures, our subject-matter teachers are on hand to offer individualized assistance to students as they progress through the material. Students no longer need to wait on others or hinder the progress of the class in order for them to move forward. This collaborative approach aims to provide the best education for all students.
ATTENTIVE
Our teachers are expected to consistently comprehend the unique academic abilities, limitations, and requirements of every student. They must utilize individualized instruction and proven pedagogical methods to address and improve their needs.
MODEL BEHAVIORS
The role of our teachers is to be influential leaders for their students. By modeling expectations and professional behavior, they inspire excitement and create an enjoyable learning environment.
- Social-emotional wellbeing to ensure each student feels heard, understood, and valued in their educational journey.
- Fostering a relationship-driven culture that creates a nurturing environment where there is mutual respect and empathy.
- Meaningful student connections make every learner feel like they are an integral part of our school community.
