This is our 100th episode anniversary edition of LMScast, and today’s topic challenges you to ask yourself, what level teacher leader are you? Leadership instructor and author Chris Badgett will help you understand what kind of teacher and leader you are and how you can improve.
The first level you operate from is positional, meaning you are a leader because you occupy the role of teacher for your course. Your authority may take a positive or negative form depending on circumstances, with positive reinforcement being preferable if not always possible. The next level of leadership establishes your authority through your credentials, experience, and proven expertise. At the highest level, your reputation alone will attract students to your online courses.
Having your answer for what level teacher leader you are gives you a place to work up from. That investment in yourself will make you a better teacher and leader, and we’ll continue helping you do that for the next 100 episodes of LMScast and beyond.
