First celebrated in 1994, the day is meant to recognize the positive impact that teachers have in their various education systems. Although learning conditions are different around the world, the passion and responsibilities of teachers are universal. Working conditions are hardly ever ideal (some people think teaching is a 9-5 job, LOL) but empowering teachers starts with recognition of the importance and the sheer hugeness of their role. Qualified teachers provide quality education. Every day, teachers make a positive impact in our communities, and thanks to social media, we can acknowledge the status of teachers as vital characters in our communities.<\/p>\n
World Teachers\u2019 Day is not the same as Teacher Appreciation Week, which is usually observed at the start of May. Teacher Appreciation Week is a national occurrence, whereas World Teacher\u2019s Day is global! Each World Teachers\u2019 Day has a different theme; This year is \u2013
\n\u201cThe Transformation of Education Begins with Teachers.\u201d This applies not only to the technological changes we\u2019ve seen in the past few years but the ongoing efforts to strive toward social equality and providing opportunities for all students.<\/p>\n
Anybody who\u2019s ever attended school remembers their favorite teacher. More often than not, a great teacher can ignite a lifelong passion for a subject or field of academia.<\/p>\n
World Teachers\u2019 Day is to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally. Typically, the actual ceremony is held in Paris. The pandemic has made attendance difficult the past few years, but there is a full week of webinars available for teachers around the world to tune into. The content this year includes a discussion on teacher innovation, a premier film screening, as well as several more informative panels.

In such unprecedented times, even qualified teachers needed to adapt to these unique learning conditions. New benchmarks have been set and met as teachers found new ways to connect with their students and continued to provide quality education.

As we begin to move into more digital and blended learning environments, the reality of achieving the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organizations\u2019 sustainable development goals, such as Quality Education, becomes more and more tangible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n If we want to continue to support teachers and to recognize the exceptional work they do, calendar events like World Teachers\u2019 Day are essential.<\/p>\n Check out some of our Kami Library templates<\/a> to incorporate World Teachers Day into your curriculum: Acrostic Poem<\/a>, Letter Writing Activity<\/a>, Drawing Activity<\/a>, Best Teacher Award<\/a>, and\u00a0Greeting Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whether you knew it or not, October 5th is set aside each year to celebrate World Teachers\u2019 Day.
