World teachers day program anchoring notes

“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.”-

(Welcome)
On behalf of Tilak college of education, I heartily welcome all of you for the “World Teacher’s Day “ celebrations.

first, let me convey to all the teachers ans student-teachers, my personal greetings and best wishes on the teachers’ day.

(Introduction)
World Teachers’day held annually on 5th October is a UNESCO initiative, a day devoted to appreciating, assessing and improving the educators of the world. World Teachers day is also an opportunity to rethink national issues facing teachers from an international perpective to benchmark progress made by teachers in global context. “A Call for Teachers!” is the slogan of World Teachers’ Day 2013. Since teachers are the most powerful force for equity, access and quality education, a call for teachers means calling for quality education for all.
How can we contribute? Everyone can help by celebrating the proffesion, by generating awareness about teacher issues, by ensuring that teacher respect is a part of the natural order of things. Hence, today Tilak College Of Education is going to contribute in its own unique way by holding a poster competition in honor of the World Teachers; Day. Students have been asked to make and submit posters on 3 themes. The first theme is

1. Social Health of students : social health is the ability to create and maintain healthy and flourishing relationships with other people. Student social health is an important area of growing focus within the community, government and educational sectors. Ongoing support of the social health of young people is vitally important, especially in the secondary years of schooling when the focus tends to be on academic achievement.

The importance of life skills learning is highlighted directly and indirectly in a number of international agreements and conventions held by UNICEF, UNESCO and WHO. From these same life skills, our next two topics arise

2. Value Based Education : Values-based Education is the way to nurture the development of active, peaceful and caring citizens. As the potters responsible for shaping the future generation of the world, value based education in of utmost importance in the field of teaching.
3. Higher order thinking skills : Higher order thinking skills involves the learning of complex judgmental skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. Some of the higher order skills are also part of the Value based education.

Students from each guidance and counseling group have picked up a topic and made a poster on it which we will be viewing in a short while.
