📚🌍 Weltlehrertag 2025 – Danke, dass ihr Mathematik lebendig macht!

5. Oktober ist der #WorldTeachersDay – ein Tag, um all denen Danke zu sagen, die täglich Lernprozesse gestalten, Neugier wecken und Wege zum Verstehen ebnen. 💡

Lehrkräfte sind das Herz guter Bildung. Sie fördern Denken, Argumentieren und Staunen – auch (und gerade) in Mathematik. 🧮✨

Happy #WorldTeachersDay! Admire your work with special needs students! 💜

It’s 9:15pm and I just found out it’s World Teacher’s Day. I missed a whole day of celebrating because I was too busy writing lesson plans and grading papers. Pretty ironic I guess.

I've taught hundreds of classes to thousands of students.

I have met old teachers in strange places.
Some have had strokes, some play the violin
in a quiet little heaven of their own.
And some are standing on the banks of Hades
with books about Julius Caesar in their hands…

Teachers
by Iain Crichton Smith

I have met old teachers in strange places.
Some have had strokes, some play the violin
in a quiet little heaven of their own.
And some are standing on the banks of Hades
with books about Julius Caesar in their hands,
English grammar, absolute ablative.
Sometimes a huge wind blows them away,
the leaves of autumn. Sometimes in the snow
wearing their gowns of chalk they are writing.
I have met the old teachers in strange places
and there are apples trembling in their hands.

A late-Victorian oil painting, “The Dominie”, by William Stewart (1823–1906). Oil on canvas, Paisley Art Institute Collection, held by Paisley Museum and Art Galleries. An elderly male schoolteacher, bald, with white side-whiskers, sits side-on at a well-worn wooden sloping desk. He is wearing a greenish-brown tweed jacket and a dark waistcoat over a collarless shirt with a loose necktie, and brown trousers. He is holding a small battered book open in his right hand, and looks out of the picture, at us, over the top of small oval glasses. Behind him, the corner of a map of Scotland can be seen hanging on a cracked plaster wall; beneath it three small blond-haired boys are misbehaving (one watches while the second writes something in chalk on the back of the third). In the lower left of the painting, a young girl, wearing a dark blue dress with a white pinafore on top, sits looking out at us over the top of another battered schoolbook which she is holding against her chest. All the children are barefoot.

In the image, two zebras with black and white striped coats are grazing on dry grass in a natural setting. The zebras are positioned next to each other, with one slightly ahead of the other. Their manes and tails are also striped in the same pattern as their coats, creating a striking visual effect. The background shows a grassy area with trees and a fence, indicating that the zebras are in a fenced enclosure or a protected area. The dry grass suggests that the environment might be arid or during the dry season, but the zebras are still grazing.

In the image, a classroom is filled with students seated at desks. The teacher is standing at the front of the room, using a projector to display information on the screen. On the screen, there is a diagram showcasing a process of making dyes, likely related to the topic being discussed. Several students are attentively following the lesson, with one student raising their hand to ask a question.

The desks are organized and have a few cups on them. A blue cup is placed near the middle of the room, while a pink cup is located on the right side. The chairs are also arranged neatly around the desks, with some of them being occupied by students.

In the image, a man dressed in a green shirt and baseball cap is standing on a paved area, waving to a group of people who are gathered around him. There are at least eight individuals in the scene, some of whom are waving back, while others stand in a line or group formation.

In the background, there is a fence visible, adding to the outdoor setting of the image. The man's position relative to the fence suggests that he might be a zookeeper or a staff member from a park or recreational facility.

“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.”
