#worldteachersday — Public Fediverse posts

Israel has killed more than 800 Palestinian teachers, injured around 3,000 others, and detained 170 under harsh conditions.

From “educational tents” that have replaced destroyed schools, teachers have insisted on continuing their mission: nurturing hope and helping raise the next generation.

On World Teachers’ Day, we remember and honor every teacher who continues to teach despite unimaginable circumstances.

Today is World Teachers' Day. 4 facts (UNESCO):
1. The world needs 44 million more teachers by 2030.
2. 15 million of them in sub-Saharan Africa alone.
3. The share of primary teachers quitting each year nearly doubled, from 4.6% in 2015 to 9.1% in 2022.
4. The day marks October 5, 1966, when a Paris conference adopted the recommendation on teachers' rights.

Somebody taught you what you do for a living. Tell them.

Today is World Teachers' Day and the folks behind The Story Engine are trying to help out. For every main deck they sell today, they will be donating a deck to an education group.

The Story Engine is a collection of cards that can help generate story ideas on the fly. I've used them a few times for a story here and there.

The Walkout

As it was foretold, members of the Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT) held a one-hour stoppage on Maynooth University campus today to mark World Teachers’ Day. The turnout was very good, helped by the reasonably nice weather. As well as speeches from members of IFUT, there were also contributions from the other Unions, Unite and Siptu as well as the Postgraduate Workers’ Organisation; the latter is not an officially-recognised trade union, but supports the dispute.

The next action will be a 24-hour stoppage on Wednesday 14th October. It was good to have the chance to discuss plans for picketing, etc, during today’s walkout.

“Permission is a gift no one can steal and can begin from something very simple. Teach them to sing. Give them the finest things you can find. Give them music.”

I have met old teachers in strange places.
Some have had strokes, some play the violin
in a quiet little heaven of their own…

To mark World Teachers' Day, today's quote is from Mr. Ronald 'Teach' Saveloy in Interesting Times!

#Discworld is full of teachers: Susan Sto Helit, Miss Tick, the wizards of Unseen University, the Guilds... even Ankh-Morpork herself (although what she teaches is another matter). Which of them is your favourite?

Since its’s #WorldTeachersDay, today, my #MusicForToday is

Crosby, Stills & Nash - Teach Your Children

I remember listening to their album for the first time.
At the house of my chemistry teacher, Fred Schmale.
I visited him on a regular basis, because we both liked the same kind of music.
BTW: I sucked at chemistry ;-)

Into the Third Week…

The first two weeks of Semester 1 have been extremely busy. I always find it hard to adjust to teaching after the summer break even when I’m teaching familiar material, but this year we had quite a lot of timetabling issues which required swapping and juggling classes. I think it has now settled down, though, and at least I’m not behind on covering the material in lectures.

Next week will be busy for different reasons. For a start, tomorrow sees the first day of industrial action by the Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT). This is relatively gentle introduction, being in the form of a one-hour walk-out from 12-1 to mark World Teachers’ Day. I actually don’t have any teaching then so it won’t be very disruptive for me, but I will be attending the demonstration that will take place during the action. I hope it doesn’t rain. I have a lecture at 2pm and a telecon at 4pm both of which will go ahead as planned.

The strikes proper start with 24-hour stoppages on Wednesday 14th October and Wednesday 21st October, on which days we expect other campus trade unions, SIPTU and UNITE to strike. I expect most staff – especially those who have a long commute to and from work – will stay at home on those days, but since I live in Maynooth I am planning to a short walk to campus stand on the picket lines on both days.

Tuesday sees the announcement of the 2026 Nobel Prize for Physics. I really have no idea who will win it this year, but perhaps there’s still an outside chance for Michael Berry and Yakir Aharonov for their work on the geometric phase, although if they were going to win they probably would have done so by now.

Wednesday will be a normal teaching day, as will Thursday but it will be followed by our Space Week event, at which I will be speaking:

I think some tickets are still available, so if you’re in Maynooth feel free to register.

And then on Friday, after teaching is done, I’ll be heading off to the NCH again.
