🎉 Happy Teacher’s Day📚 When we think of teachers, we often imagine people in classrooms. But life is full of different kinds of teachers. Let’s celebrate all of them today: 👨👩👧👦 Parents - Our first teachers. They teach us the basics of life. 🎓 School and College Teachers - They fill our minds with knowledge and guide us as we grow. 🧑💼 Mentors and Coaches - They show us how to aim higher, believe in ourselves and keep moving forward. 🌱 Life’s Tough Moments - Those difficult times that teach us patience, courage and how to stand up again after we fall. 🗣️ Critics and Doubters - Yes, even they are teachers.They help us find our inner strength, clarify what we want and push ourselves to be better. Every day is a chance to learn something new. Sometimes, the best lessons come from the most unexpected places. Today, let’s appreciate all these wonderful teachers—whether they’ve been in our homes, classrooms or through life’s ups and downs. They’ve all contributed to our journey. 🌟 Who has been your most surprising teacher? Share your story in the comments. 👇

It's graduation season and my favorite part of the school year! Participating in graduation ceremony is one thing I miss about teaching online. I don't get the chance to walk the kids into the stadium and watch them cross that stage. So, I am posting a throwback to the graduation ceremonies over the years.#graduationceremonies,#teachingandlearning

On Teacher’s Day, we celebrate those who dedicate their lives to nurturing minds and shaping futures. But while we honor our teachers, it’s important to remember that learning isn’t confined to the classroom or limited to a select few. Every person we meet, regardless of age, background, or experience, has something to teach us. The beauty of life lies in its diversity of perspectives. A child can remind us of curiosity and wonder. A colleague might inspire us with their resilience. Even those we disagree with teach us the art of patience and understanding. The world, in essence, is a classroom, and everyone we encounter plays the role of teacher. Learning from everyone means being open, listening actively, and embracing humility. It's about understanding that knowledge is boundless, and wisdom often comes from unexpected places. This Teacher’s Day, let's celebrate not only our educators but also the everyday teachers around us- the friends, family members, and even strangers who offer lessons in kindness, strength, and humanity. Here’s to lifelong learning and recognizing that the world’s greatest classroom has no walls and above all to all my teachers, aged 1 to 100 -Happy Teacher’s Day!

Today, we owe our understanding and success to our teachers. It is they who dedicate their lives to keeping the flame of knowledge burning bright. A teacher's role is not just to impart textbook learning but to instill values, shape society, and nurture the true essence of humanity. A teacher is not just a guide, but a beacon of light that leads us from ignorance to wisdom. #HappyTeachersDay #ThankYouTeachers #TeachersDay2024 #EducatorsOfTomorrow #madhushram
