When you’re teaching online, you’ll likely communicate with your school through Zoom, WhatsApp, or other messaging apps. There won’t be someone standing next to you, reminding you what to do—you’ll need to handle many responsibilities on your own. One of the most important is keeping your school informed about what’s happening in your classes.
Let them know if your students haven’t shown up yet, if the internet connection is unstable, or if you’re facing issues with student behavior. Even if it feels unnecessary, it’s better to over-communicate. Regular updates build trust and show that you’re taking your role seriously.
Takeaway: Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. Keep your school updated—they can support you, help resolve issues, and will appreciate your professionalism. Trust grows when you keep the lines open.
