College Celebrates World Teachers’ Day
September 30 2016
In a word, Ontario Certified Teachers are simply inspiring!
One in seven respondents to our Just One Word social media campaign used
the word “inspire” (or a version thereof) to describe their
favourite teacher. More than 700 people offered comment, including 164
unique terms. By and large, we were told that one word simply wasn’t
enough.
Inspiring (15%), caring (7%) and kind (5.5%) topped the list of
single-word responses. Other popular descriptors include: encouraging
(4.9%), compassionate (3.2%) and motivating (2.8%). Passionate (2.5%) and
awesome (2.2%) were also top of mind.
The Just One Word campaign aims to celebrate World Teachers’ Day
on October 5. See samples from this initiative below.
UNESCO (United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recognizes World
Teachers’ Day as an international celebration of educators who must
be empowered to build quality education and sustainable societies.
