The stated mission of the Teaching Channel is to revolutionize how teachers learn, connect, and inspire each other to improve the outcomes for all students in America. To accomplish this, the Teaching Channel has established three goals:
- Build teacher-driven professional learning
- Deepen and improve opportunities for teacher learning
- Elevate and celebrate teachers in our society
What I love about the Teaching Channel, is that its not just a site to watch videos of amazing teachers. With every video, you get all the materials you would need to teach the same lesson in your classroom. In the screen shot to the right, notice they provide the Lesson Objective, the length of the lesson, Questions to Consider, Common Core Standards, and Supporting Materials that you can download. They also provide additional videos that pertain to the same topic of the video you just watched! The Teaching Channel also hosts a community for educators to share ideas, best practices, and enhance their knowledge. Over 800,000 teachers from around the globe are members of this community.
