Teachers' Day

All over the world teachers are honoured on this special day -dedicated to those amazing people we call teachers.

A teachers job is one of educator, actor, artist, innovator, admonisher, adviser, coach, confidant, psychologist, nursemaid, consultant, counselor, , doctor,  educationist, guide, , instructor, , mentor, monitor, nose wiper, orienter, trainer, tutor| and in fact I could spend countless minutes writing about the role of the teacher.

How many times I have got a lump in my throat watching the tenderness, the dedication of some teachers.  How often I have watched as teachers try and manage their emotions, their reactions and themselves in the classroom.

How often have we seen a teacher spend hours trying to make a lesson wonderful and exciting for the students only to have it bomb and fall flat – how often have you as a teacher glowed with pleasure and pride when a class is having a great time and YOU know you have facilitated learning

How wonderful have YOU as a teacher felt when the light of recognition lights up in a Childs eyes and you know you have reached him

Teachers – without the teachers what would our world be? – Those in classrooms on sports fields, on stages.

Those teachers everywhere, in everyday life – the people who are our teachers in this classroom, called life. 

Here’s to those who have taught us in so many ways – in so many places and so many times and they didn’t even know

We celebrate you – the teachers

A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson.

John Henrik Clarke

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
