By Itofa Ivarah

According to a recent study, enrollment in teacher preparation programs has dropped dramatically in almost every country over the last eight years Teachers all over the world are looking for new opportunities Here are three ways educators can develop their personal brand:

First, narrow your niche and focus on creating a personal brand around it by offering resources, products, and training that position you as an expert in that niche

Second, develop solutions that can be distributed; in order to be a sought-after educator, we must be able to find the solutions you are providing to be extremely valuable - package your solutions and distribute them across social media. Finally, maintain consistency

You must understand that building a reputable brand is a marathon, not a sprint. The results you seek will take time, so let consistency triumph over intensity. You'll quickly become the go-to solution in that niche
