感恩全国教师节

| By Debra Kirby |

全国教师节,这是在美国观察到的第一个完整周在5月第一个星期二,是一个伟大的时间来思考所有的老师都丰富了我们的生活的方式。从事教师超越教他们的学生事与他们的主题类,他们也教这些技能批判性思维,沟通,组织,团队合作,和在他们的学生受益到成年的方式有些情况下,发挥榜样作用。

我很幸运有这样一个老师:Mrs. Erma Colding, the science teacher at Harms Elementary in Detroit. Her class was the favorite of many students, and not just because it was filled with plants and animals. She was kind, engaging, encouraging, passionate about learning, and made science fun! Most of this I recognized at the time, but it was many years before I realized she had also been a role model for grace, dignity, and courage. I kept in touch with Mrs. Colding throughout my life, but only learned after her death that she was also a civil rights activist and a recipient of the prestigious NAACP Freedom and Justice Award.
