Teachers Day 2024: What Secrets Lie Behind the Magic of Teaching?

As September 5th arrives, we celebrate outstanding things shaping our minds and inspiring our hearts: our teachers. A special day to make them know how our life gets influenced with a teacher in our life, and a bit of gratitude towards their dedication and hard work. In India, Teachers' Day is celebrated on the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a great teacher who possessed sterling qualities and was loved by his students. He said that if his birthday was celebrated, it should be celebrated as a day to honor all teachers in the country and thus make it a privileged day for the teaching fraternity.

So, who is a teacher? A teacher is much more than an educator; a friend, guide, and mentor that helped us grow and learn. Aching is the most influential job in the world. Teachers are known to shape the mind of youth, and without knowledge, no one can exist in this world. Teacher imparts good value in children and turns them into responsible citizens. Therefore, almost all countries celebrate Teacher's Day. The gurus and shishyas relationship has been accorded great respect in the Indian system for centuries. Even our ancient gods, such as Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, learned from their teachers, Maharishi Vasishtha and Maharishi Sandipani, respectively. Thus, the teacher's role is one that has been respected and revered throughout history as a person to guide and lead students through some of life's most formative periods of growth and understanding of the strong impact of education.

But what makes teaching such a magical and transformative profession?

The magic of teaching far outreaches the simple act of knowledge imparting, yet pivots on deep connections a facilitator makes with students, understanding their peculiar needs, and growing in a nurturing atmosphere. Great teachers spark curiosity through lesson designs that are engaging and provoke thought, changing passive learning into an active pursuit of knowledge. They work for personal and academic growth, helping students to manage difficulties and to nurture their confidence-that shapes their futures. This magic happens because a teacher is never at an end to learn and adapt, so that their practices are relevant and effective. In essence, the power of teaching is believing-teachers who believe in their students' capabilities tend to push them to achieve remarkable things, thus making dreams real and teaching one of the most powerful professions.
