I wake up every day on National Coffee Day or National Coffee Day, I leave my sock on the first day. It’s a little tricky to stay awake, so I don’t go out regularly to do that. However, I learned that 5th of octubre. es on World Teachers’ Day. It’s also called International Teachers’ Day. I am sure that there are other versions of Teacher’s Day during the year, however, the most important point for me is that teachers deserve our thanks and recognition to each and every one of them. day, especially in the COVID-19 truth of 2020.
World Teachers’ Day is not one of the things that is invented through a marketing agency. There’s a story. According NationalToday. com, World Teachers’ Day is “a global occasion presented through the United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1994”. It is the anniversary birthday party of the 1966 UNESCO Recommendation on the Employment and Preparation of Instructors, Schooling and Recruitment. UNESCO’s message for 2020 underlines the importance of young instructors and the long-term profession.
That brings me to this open letter. I’m an atmospheric scientist and professor at the University of Georgia. Before joining the academy, I spent twelve years at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center as a study meteorologist. I was lucky enough to get my percentage of honors, prizes, etc. I have traced the effects of my career to the influence of K-12 teachers at North Canton/Tippens Elementary and Cherokee High School. My mother taught and ran a school in Cherokee County, Georgia. As a single mother, she set the bar for the importance of However, I have also noticed the coaching career from a different perspective: I saw her at all hours of the night, making lesson plans, dealing with occasional and unpleasant court cases of parents, etc.
In the United States, the average instructor at a K-12 public school earns about $60,000 a year, according to the National Education Association’s 2018-2019 reports. In my opinion, instructors are among the best-paid professionals in the United States or any country. There are no doctors, lawyers, meteorologists and presidents without professors of science, mathematics, language arts and history. However, a 2019 report through the Economic Policy Institute found that the shortage of instructors is not only real, but is increasing. Key findings include:
While he used to be a “rocket specialist” (more or less) at NASA, it doesn’t take one to perceive that those numbers are worse in disadvantaged or deficient school districts.
The disastrous figures mentioned above precede 2020 and the coronavirus pandemic. My two teens move to school, one practically and one in person, in the Gwinnett County public school formula. It is the largest public school formula in the state of Georgia and one of the most important. most productive in the country thanks to the national awards. However, I cannot believe the demanding situations and tension faced by courageous educators of local, national and global qualifications as they seek to provide quality education to our schoolchildren as a component of this “new Teachers, in a coronavirus-free world, have already faced a variety of demanding situations by academics, parents and an unre genuine amount of standardized testing. By 2020, they also face the very genuine risk of poor health with COVID-19, learning new virtual technologies, fighting zoom interruptions and juggling face-to-face/online courses.
Unsurprisingly, a recent survey found that one in 3 teachers reported that COVID-19 made them more likely to resign or retire early. A non-public friend in my family circle resigned out of concern about fitness issues. teaching peers who say that many senior educators simply have no interest in learning or juggling new technologies. These generations of academics are virtual natives (tablets, zoom and smartphones were components of their education). Older teachers are usually virtual immigrants (new emerging technology).
The words in this article cannot replace the demanding situations teachers face, but I hope this thank you note will lift someone’s day. As a parent, citizen, and scientist, I sense that at some point you are currently:
Educator. . . Guardian. . . Technology Troubleshooting Tool. . . Nurse. . . Mediator. . . Referee. . . Eye-catching bag for ungrateful or unrealistic parents . . . and more.
Educators like Yvonda Thomas of Alcova Elementary School, Derek Tuthill of Dacula College and Andrea Marchese of Dacula High School, all my young people have been lucky enough to experience, they are passionate about what they do. They succeed in their studies in grades that far exceed books, exams and classrooms.
For teachers like them all over the world, thank you every day.
