So, it was yesterday and it's today ππππ₯°π₯°π₯°
Behind the smile that shows that teaching is my happy place and I love making my students and other teachers happy, is the thought of what lies ahead of us, even as we celebrate... π€π€π€
βYoung Teachers: The future of the Profession.β That's the theme for World Teacher's Day 2019.
"Without a new generation of motivated teachers wanting to make a difference, the global commitment to βensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for allβ is clearly under threat.
According to UNESCO Institute of Statistics Fact Sheet OCTOBER 2016, the World needs almost 69 million new teachers to reach the 2030 SDG Goal 4, education targets.
Of this number, 48.6 million new recruits will be needed to replace those who are to leave the profession either through retirement or voluntarily. In South and West Asia, and in sub-Saharan Africa in particular, acute shortages exist."
Are you a YOUNG teacher? Vibrant, flexible, tech savvy, reflective, motivated, innovative.....then it's time for your voice to be heard, your thoughts to be felt and your actions to be seen, so that you can attract likeminds into the teaching profession.
Are you an old teacher?
What can you do to stay young at heart? Know this.... you can no longer be a SAGE on the SAGE but a GUIDE by the SIDE.
