The famous day of celebration for teachers and education in general has been an important part of schools’ life for decades. But, for some of you who wonder how it started, here is the “genesis” of Teacher’s Appreciation Day.

US Teacher’s Appreciation Day

It all began in 1944, in Arkansas, when the teacher Mattye Whyte Woodridge thought of a new way to thank teachers for their commitment. That was when she became to get in touch with politicians and educational leaders in order to establish one precise day recognizing the work of teachers. A few years later, in 1953, Eleanor Roosevelt persuaded the 81st Congress to implement for the first time a Teacher’s Appreciation Day.

In the 1980s, Teacher’s Appreciation Day became the brainchild of the National Education Association (NEA), the largest employee organization in Education existing since then. Indeed, it gathers no less than 2.8 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals, schools administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers. In 1980, responding to NEA’s demand, Congress declared that the first Tuesday of March of each year would be Teacher’s Appreciation Day in the USA. This means that the actual date varies from year to year -in Massachussets, however, Teachers are celebrated on the first Sunday of June-.

World Teacher’s Appreciation Day

In 1994, United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated October 4 as World Teacher’s Appreciation Day. Yet, the actual date changes according to the country. In fact, this date usually reflects a specific aspect of the own History of the country because it is important that people recognize their own culture so they can commit.

In Bolivia for instance, “Día del Maestro” occurs on June 6. This date is the birthday of a famous Bolivian educador named Modesto Omiste tinajeros. This teacher and politician initiated the first public schools in Bolivian and made accessible education for all.

In Taiwan, Teacher’s Appreciation Day is also full of national symbolism. Celebrated on September 28, it is the birthday of the famous philosopher Confucius whose philosophy emphasized individual morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity.

At last, the most important isn’t it to celebrate Teacher’s Appreciation Day in 2010 wherever you live or wherever you’re from?

The beauty of teaching is celebrated all over the globe, in all kind of regions and in all type of languages. Afghanistan is one of those places.

Every year, on May 24^th, even if schools are on leave, students and teachers all rush in to celebrate. People bring food, cookies and, most of all, presents. Special presentations and programs are also scheduled to please educators, teachers and families.

Teacher’s day is an occasion to draw the attention of the commitment teachers have always shown by trying providing quality education for all in such a context of doubt and insecurity. With about 4 million students in the country, Afghan teachers are now the symbol of a better future for all a new generation that has been growing in fear since the 1970s.

However, there are still significant obstacles to education in Afghanistan. For instance, Afghan teachers get the lowest salary in the world, accounting only about 6 % of domestic budget (100 USD). Furthermore, the government fails to pay most of them when times are unsteady, which usually happens in such a sensitive zone.

Given the national geography, many people face difficulties getting educated. Distance education would be possible thanks to the implementation of radio and TV programs in the most remote areas. Indeed, the increasing importance of Information and Communication technologies requires a big investment that the government can not afford at this moment.

Thanks to the famous UN agency of the UNESCO, things have changed a lot during the last few years. A series of measures have been implemented during the last few years to improve teaching conditions all over the country.

UNESCO began by supporting the ministries in designing and implementing viable educational policies in order to upgrade training, recruitment and working conditions.

At the end of the day, Teacher’s day in conflicted countries is becoming a symbol of all the values teaching is about, reminding us that school makes us what we are. Now we ought to hope that the Afghan public administration follows this beautiful example of solidarity and perseverance to give access to education to all the Afghan children and finally maintain peace.

The season of spring entirely brings on the question of when is Teacher Appreciation Week will be held on intended for the minds of educators, administrators and learners nationwide. Perhaps these questions will not be considered, as not yet popular as it should be especially for this day economic situation. The teacher appreciation week will now be celebrated this upcoming May 3 to 7, 2010 and it even become more essential of this year that ever been. The educational learner’s budgets are already being cut down across this nation, educators and to its career education institute staffs are already feelings to its pinch.

The PTO and PTA organizations are already thinking on some activities and to its events. As a result, this cost efficient ways of recognizing for both educators and school staffs are already being look upon and this Teacher Appreciation Week considered as a perfect way of delivering on some gift and its awards.

Aside of that, the award dinners appreciation luncheons and its breakfasts considered as long staple of Teacher Appreciation Week during the time they might be viewing on this larger expense and even considering an expendable aspect in regards to their ingenuity that can ever make it quite possible even in nowadays tough economic times. So, asking on their local businesses towards the contribution of their dishes in return for any advertising activity or just on their learners, parents, administrators and learners who will be preparing some potluck of their respective dishes. With that, take on some of its money upon purchasing and even saving on their decorations that includes this buttons and balloons with this verse of appreciation or considered as this banner.

How many times do we wonder how different we would be without the knowledge that we acquire over the years and how different our life opportunities would be? Although it is not all down to our time at school and at university, a great part of it is and it´s time to celebrate our most memorable teachers. Teaching as a profession is not always easy, the subjects are more or less of interest to students and they can be more or less cooperative in class. Hence, it is all the more important that they teach in such a way to arouse our interest and make us learn, one of the most important things in life!
Teacher appreciation week from the 3-7th May 2010 is celebrated worldwide by schools and universities alike. Students come up with really inventive gifts such as t-shirts, teacher awards that resemble Oscars but home-made. Not only do normal students celebrate but celebrities join in on the fun!

- “…my elementary school sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Powers. He had a way of connecting with his students and not being judgmental. I also liked the fact that we would have ‘Subway’ days where we’d order Subway sandwiches and eat them in class around lunchtime! You know, as a kid, things like that mean something…”—Michelle Williams, vocalist, former member of Grammy Award-winning trio Destiny’s Child

– “Ms. Mieses taught me the importance of perseverance and discipline one must have in order to obtain results that will bring you happiness and success.”—Zoe Saldana, TV and film actress
Actors get more awards than they deserve. We are lucky enough to do a job we love in a public way so we get public acclaim. But the nature of our job is miniscule in importance next to teaching. If there’s any hope for this country, it’s with you and how you educate the children. It is the most important job, bar none.’-Jeremy Irons- actor

-Having set up my own successful make-up school, teaching is something I feel exceptionally passionate about.  I always keep in contact with my students and love creating a special bond with them and watching them grow.  Teachers are a wonderful breed and certainly aren’t recognised enough – let’s give something back and say thank-you. Mrs Marani was my favourite teacher because she was like my grandma – she taught me everything, was so kind, everyone adored her and it was great when she became headmistress.”-Jemma kidd- model
After Secondary school I moved onto Elliot Clarke Drama School in Liverpool which has now sadly closed, but I never forgot my teacher Miss Ashton. She encouraged me to go to the audition for Atomic Kitten. I hated auditions – I still do, but I have a lot to thank her for. Sadly I have lost contact with her now – it would be great to see her again!’ Liz McLaron- singer from Atomic Kitten
Teachers make a difference in our lives, so it´s all the more important to celebrate them during teacher appreciation week 2010!

* Be reminded not to feel obligated towards providing some stuffs or aspects. Although, it’s really be a good feeling to give some stuffs or things to the teachers upon showing teacher appreciation. But be reminded that not to give something just for the sake of giving but gift what is wonderful that the teacher really like and be reminded not give those aspects or things that been regift or wanted to be thrown away.

* Don’t give those jewelry or ties. Giving jewelries or ties to the teachers are already beyond and not already appropriate upon showing appreciation to an educators or educator.

* Try giving gift cards with nice quotation or those movie theaters tickets and bookstores.

* Get creative. Upon showing appreciation to the teachers, it’s quite good to be creative on doing it that beyond to the usual aspect but still quite interesting and provides the assurance that the teacher or educator will really like it.

* Be reminded to say always Thank You. The thank you statement had already provided an appreciation. Just make sure that this thank you word are sincerely been said even if there are some fewer things or aspects.
