Under the theme “Quality Teachers for Quality Education”, the Anguilla Teachers’ Union celebrates Teachers’ Week 2006, Sunday October 1st – Friday October 6th
• Activities for the Week include:
October 1 Sunday – Church service, St. Gerard’s Catholic 9:00 am
October 2 Monday – President Radio Address, Teacher becomes principal for a day / community members teach at schools
October 4th Wednesday, Food fair & Social at the Agricultural Grounds starting at 6:30 pm.
October 5 Thursday - WTD/ Teacher Appreciation Day
- Teacher Appreciation Concert – Campus B
On that day, students, teachers and other community members should express their appreciation to teachers. We know a little appreciation can go a long way to make teachers feel good about what they do. Its not just the gifts that matter it’s the sincerity of your appreciation. This is a one-day event, but we hope individuals do not treat it that way. Remember we are teachers! That’s what we do, that’s who we are and we work tirelessly everyday because we love what we do. The best you can do is just say we love and appreciate all that you do. It is our hope that the community will continue to show this level of respect and appreciation not just on one day but throughout the year. Show us that you are concerned about your child’s education – attend parents teachers meetings regularly, call a teacher to find out how your child is doing in that class, pay a visit to the school to see how your child is doing. World Teacher´s Day is celebrated every year in more than 100 countries, not only in the countries where the teachers are better paid and have better teaching conditions, because of the greater investment in education, but also in countries where the lives and liberty of the teachers are under threat from constant violence and opression.
October 6 Friday Teachers Conference & Awards Ceremony, Anguilla Great House starting at 9 :00 am.
Let us improve the quality of education, let us lobby our governments for better working conditions, more resources, more funding, greater involvement. Quality begins with you! Let your voice be heard.
