3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue # 60, 31st August 2021

Do you remember a teacher that made a difference in your life in any way? In which way did s/he change your heart? In what manner did s/he change your mind? How did s/he change your life? I know of school founders who became teachers and started school because they had lousy teachers growing up and also of many who became teachers or picked a subject and career because of the passionate teacher they had. I have come across many students who remember how their teacher made them feel about life and learning. Share about your experience of your teacher that you remember as a response to this post and yes, do go ahead and thank them.

Teacher’s day is around the corner. Time for us to reflect as educators, what is our own vision as a teacher and as parents who are their child’s first and primary teacher.

Happy Teacher’s Day!
