Why should a Teacher get a PgDip in Education Management?

As a teacher, youโ€™re always on the look out to find ways to improve your skills. This is so that you can engage better with the students under your supervision. One such way would be to earn yourself a postgraduate diploma which will also be beneficial to you personally.

How will a Postgraduate diploma help you?

Transforms you into a better teacher โ€“
One of the main reasons to opt for a postgraduate diploma specializing in education is to help improve your skillset as an educator. You will come to learn more ways to convey the knowledge you possess, acquire additional leadership skills and cover more elements about the different learning styles. To add to that, youโ€™ll gain a wider perspective about the daily challenges your students face.

Increase your earning potential โ€“
Salary for teachers generally vary from one subject area to another. However, the type of reward system in place gives greater weightage in terms of salary increases to a teacher who possesses a postgraduate diploma rather than just a bachelorโ€™s degree.ย 

Greater job security โ€“
Though teaching as an occupation has been rather stable over the years, teaching at high school and elementary level is not expected to see remarkable growth. If you wish to secure your future career options, a postgraduate diploma can prove to be useful. The increased demand for postsecondary educators has certainly opened the doors for career growth. With a postgraduate diploma being the minimum qualification for postsecondary teaching, elementary and secondary level teachers with the qualification obtain greater job security as its possible to teach college level in the future.

Letโ€™s you go for jobs in the administration field โ€“
At a point in your teaching career, you might want to take on a leadership role within your current institution or elsewhere. These leadership roles require you to possess a postgraduate diploma. Administrators in a higher positions are able to make decisions that make a huge difference in the lives of their instituteโ€™s students and teachers. If this something that interests you, a PgDip in Education with an administrative focus can launch your career in this path.

More hands-on training โ€“
Most postgraduate level programmes provide you with more hands-on training than a bachelorโ€™s level degree. You will be able to spend time in the classroom, maybe even your current one, applying what youโ€™re learning with actual students and parents. This has to be one of the most beneficial parts of your postgraduate training.

 

There are some clear benefits of a postgraduate diploma for teachers. Greater income potential, wider career options and more hands-on training are all reasons as to why you should consider this advanced programme.

6 Benefits of MBA after Engineering

Holding an undergraduate degree in Engineering means that youโ€™ve only specialized in one specific area of engineering such as Mechanical engineering, Chemical Engineering, etc.ย 

 

Though it gives you the technical skills required to kick start your career, it alone isn’t enough to keep forward in the long journey in front of you.

 

Companies are on the look for people who understand the business environment and are able to manage it. In the long-term, they expect these individuals to grow within the organization become people who can carry others along with them.

  • It helps develop your managerial skills and gets you ready to face real-world business issues.

E – Learning: The Beginning

The current global pandemic has changed the way we operate during our daily lives as people are now required to practice strict social distancing rules.

It has even forced schools, colleges and other educational institutions to move from the standard norm of “face to face classes” to the “next best means” of e-learning as we saw them scramble to make use of video conferencing softwares such as Zoom during early March.

Though, e-learning has been out there for very long time in the form of online degrees and learning platforms, people are yet to understand it’s merits that include;

โ€ข Being able to receive knowledge from the best possible educators despite global location.

โ€ข Generally lower priced than a standard college degree/course while it also eliminates your housing and commute expenses.

โ€ข More flexibility with scheduling classes meaning you can fit online classes more easily into a busy or inconsistent schedule.

โ€ข It is more convenient as you can watch recorded videos any time you choose to. You do not need to commute anywhere and/or be somewhere at a certain time.

โ€ข More flexible pacing. For instance, if you have one busy week and one free week, you can do double the work during the week where you have more free time.

โ€ข Hones and develops skills such as self discipline and communication. Both of which are important for the workplace.

There are some drawbacks too. However, most online programs/courses you hear about are run by for-profit, non-accredited universities and platforms, so that’s where the general negative response comes in.

If in the case of higher education, find a program that is backed by a reputable university with a physical location to boot. It doesn’t have to be close to you since you’re just taking their online offerings.

It also important to note that taking online classes really depends on the person taking them. If you can manage your time responsibly and stay motivated, then you will see that the above mentioned benefits of e-learning easily outweigh it drawbacks.

Debunking The Myth Of Advanced Levels

The south east Asian continent consists of a number of countries whose ideals are deeply embedded in their distinct cultures and traditions. Straying away from said traditions is equivalent to committing a cardinal sin. But the young millennials have been questioning the governing laws since the beginning of the millennia, and have successfully debunked many traditional myths. Currently, they are busy debunking the myth on the necessity of Advanced Levels in their lives.

Sitting for oneโ€™s advanced level exams has always been a constant in everybodyโ€™s lives. There was a time when the lack of advanced level exams meant no access into universities. But now, there has been an in-surge in the availability of many different foundation courses provided by well renowned universities which are affiliated with local institutes. However, although many foundation courses are available, many people consider that opting for a foundation course, as opposed to sitting for their advanced levels, to be a transgression of traditional norms.

Opting for a foundation course has many merits, namely

Saves time

Status quo is such that the millennials are now caught up in a rat race โ€“ they want to do many things and be many things in a very short period of time. These students are very clear about what they want to do in the future, and on the field that they would like to major in. And, in such instances, Advanced levels tend to be a waste of time. Foundation courses cater to this particular need; and saves students from a bit of a time crunch. 2 years of education is filtered, and a field focused course is then compressed and offered as a foundation course.

Provides an alternate route as opposed to the more traditional one 

Foundation courses provides students with options. If a student has picked out a field which he wants to major in, (an example might be engineering) and the entry requirements are tough to satisfy; a foundation course would be the best option. It guarantees a place in the university upon its completion, and also gives a taste of the subject and the field involved to the students prior to the commencement of the degree.

Field specific courses 

Foundation courses are essentially accelerated study programs specifically focusing on a particular field. They cover the basics of the intended course, and give the students a taste of the real deal.

A virtual โ€œuniversityโ€ experience of sorts 

This course provides a simulation of university life as a whole. Many students find it difficult to adjust with university life at early onset. They learn that university life is much different when compared to their school days. Students doing a foundation degree will have an early understanding of the demands of university life. Thus, when starting their degree, the adjustment process becomes much easier when compared to those fresh after advanced levels.

If you had opted to not sit for your Advanced Level examinations, the foundation level programme at the Kensley Graduate School in the field of  Business or IT could be the pathway towards a career of your choice. Enroll now!
