Course Description
Teacher training for educators who want to captivate their students. Imagine that every time you speak in front of the classroom your students are riveted to your words and ideas. Wouldn't it be great to know that you can make your academic topic instantly understandable and memorable to students, even if they aren't taking detailed notes?
In this How Teachers and Educators Can Lecture More Effectively Teacher Training course you will learn the following:
* How to use stories to make your ideas more memorable
* How to avoid the most common mistakes made by boring teachers and professors
* How simple movement around the classroom can increase student attention and engagement
* How to protect and save your speaking voice
* Best Practices for presentation skills teacher training
This teacher training course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.
The teacher training skill skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.
This teacher training course contain numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.

And having this skill will save you time for all future presentations in your life.
You can begin improving your presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your presentation skills are not up to high standards. Enroll in this course today.
"5 Stars! The course is about how to be an effective speaker, and the speaker himself is a highly effective speaker. So he is giving us an actual example of the very thing that he is talking about. His expressions and gestures are perfectly suited to the points he is making. And his pronunciation is very clear and easy to understand. Also his sentences are spoken with the emphasis in the right places. This course is designed for native speakers of English. The same basic principles could probably be applied in a course designed for non-native speakers. I would like to see such a course someday. I am really enjoying this course. Thank you very much, Mr. Walker!" Sami

The course is helping me know what I have been doing wrong and right when I am teaching and that is one of my goals for learning this course The techniques taught are very vital and very much awesome and I am looking forward to inculcating them in order for me and my learners to enjoy my class and lessons all the time.

There are a few golden nuggets here that were very useful to me to improve immediately. I took this because I'm a student teacher in a kindergarten class and try to be less boring. I'm coming from teaching older kids and it's a huge transition in how I have to present myself. I like how this course keeps updating based on reviews and questions, do I might benefit to revisit it later. I recommend this course to anyone who might want to improve your presence in your class. There is helpful bonus info and websites, recourse and even social media advise.

Well, I did what the speaker suggest about finding the most important topic for the students that really valuable for them in the next decade. The result was fantastic that my students understood and had goals to achieve. As for example, one of my students at grade 12 realised after following my class that she could do better in speaking English as long as she had created the environment whereas English is third-language in my country. Therefore, this student insisted me whenever she met me, she forced herself to speak in English. You know, the result for today, she obtained band 7 in IELTS in her first attempt. I could not believe until now.

Muy interesante, excelentes consejos por parte del profesor. Justo lo que esperaba del curso.

Ça correspond exactement à mes attentes contenant non seulement des cours théoriques mais ce qui a comblé vraiment la formation ce sont les simulations auquelles on a été invité et les exemples pratiques

The content of the course is good, but more importantly, if you follow this course you can send videos of your performances and get personnal feedback from the instructor as long as you need to.
By Farid Minawi on 7/9/2019
A special thank to TJ Walker for this useful course. I recommend this course to new teachers who want to communicate effectively with their classes, as well as experienced teachers who wish to polish up their communication skills.

I think it's a really good overview of how to lecture effectively. The instructor is very clear to understand and he presents his ideas in short lecture form. This is a good course if you are looking to turn yourself into a better lecturer.
By Amit Ginni Patpatia on 7/8/2015
I found it identical to "how to give an informational speech" which is also TJ Walkers course. I would recommend the other course over this one. Mr Walker reuses some of the same materials and simply changes a few words into lecturer, teacher, classroom and so on. That said it will be useful to anyone who haven´t watched any of his previous or other courses in this topic. There are a few things here and there that are specific to teachers and educators. I would love to hear more about University Lecturing and things you might do in a business presentation but shouldn´t do in a lecture talk and those comparisons. Also, online teaching is growing and with online streaming and live recoding the lectures themselves are more restricted. That means some of the tips are difficult to actually do due to the live camera recording on a fixed location. Since this is still a new thing there isn´t enough tips, tricks, advice on how to engage online students or how to move/behave towards campus and online students watching. I improved the score of this course mainly because TJ is very quick on picking up feedback or questions, and answering them with another video response.
