Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without a steady stream of new private students or business customers, freelancing teachers will slip into the three-year death cycle and go out of business. Yet most brochures and business cards end up in the dustbin. Most start-ups and online teaching services don't know what to write when they advertise their teaching services. They believe that mastering the many aspects of teaching is enough to guarantee a successful career. But contrary to attracting potential private students and business customers, they end up doing the opposite. Instead, they write about framework levels or quote tired stock phrases such as 'we tailor our offer to your specific needs'. TEFL/TESOL and CELTA courses teach classroom management, pedagogical issues, and teaching methodologies. They don't teach how to start-up freelancing careers needing websites, social media pages, brochures and business cards. What is needed is 'a teacher must have freelance marketing book' that fills this gap. Tell Me... What Do You Teach? is a business and marketing book giving insights and worksheets on how to be a successful freelancer. It guides teachers to work out why their freelance teaching service exists and provides them with the skill to develop the copywriting skills they need to advertise their professional teaching activities. A clear statement telling potential private students and business customers exactly what is being taught and what skills (or benefits) they gain by attending their courses. This is what our customers want to read. Get your teacher must have marketing book Tell me... What Do You Teach? and avoid making mistakes that could affect your freelancing career. Take your teaching service beyond classroom management and teaching itself. These skills can be used for your advertising and acquisition situations as a professional teaching freelancer. And 'teacher wanted' is a thing of the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Students’ Sake! Bold Solutions for the College Retention Crisis By: Carmen R. Allen College students face numerous obstacles before they step into the classroom and then again when their academic careers begin. As such, the decline of student retention and success threatens the health of universities across the nation. Universities are challenged by declining enrollments, reduced financial resources, and an increased demand for accountability. Additionally, these institutions face pressures to compete internationally, as they struggle to meet the demands of an ever-advancing technological age. Now more than ever, college students make critical decisions about their classes based upon interactions with faculty and their own learning expectations, which are evolving as quickly as the technologies they use. Born out of experimental education tactics, For Students’ Sake! Bold Solutions for the College Retention Crisis explores the strategies and results of personalized learning. After 22 years of teaching college students, Carmen R. Allen realized that a large number of her students were failing, dropping the course, or simply disappearing. Her passion for student success pushed her to learn more about how to meet student needs, including early intervention tactics and personalized communication approaches, in order to create higher levels of student success. She experienced great success with her work and is optimistic that others will implement her strategies in order to better support their own students and positively impact them.
