🌍🍎 WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY — OCTOBER 5

Some teachers are changing lives while quietly fighting battles of their own.

They are teaching with limited resources.
Showing up when they feel exhausted.
Encouraging children while they themselves need encouragement.
Giving their best in systems that do not always give them the support, recognition, or resources they deserve.

Yet, they keep showing up.

Today, we want to say to every teacher: We see you. We appreciate you. And your work matters.

Every child you encourage, every question you awaken, every problem you challenge a student to solve, and every time you refuse to give up on a learner—you are helping shape a future you may never fully see.

Teaching has never been merely about completing a syllabus or preparing students to pass examinations. Teachers help young people discover what they are capable of becoming.

So, when the circumstances are difficult, remember: your classroom is still a place where possibilities can begin. You may not have every resource you need, but your creativity, compassion, knowledge, expectations, and belief in your students remain powerful tools.

And teachers, you matter too. ❤️

Take care of yourself. Support one another. Keep learning. Keep speaking up for what students and teachers need. And never mistake difficult conditions for insignificant work.

This World Teachers’ Day, Teachers With A Vision celebrates every educator who continues to teach with courage, purpose, and hope.

Keep teaching. Keep inspiring. Keep building problem-solvers. Keep shaping the future.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🎉📚🌍

🧠 DEVELOPING CREATIVITY IN CHILDREN

When we hear the word creativity, our minds often go straight to drawing, painting, crafts, and beautiful displays.
But creativity is much bigger than ornamental art.
A child is being creative when they ask, “What if we tried it another way?”
When they find more than one solution to a problem.
When they combine ideas in a way nobody suggested.
When they imagine, experiment, redesign, question, and create something new.
In a world where information is readily available, children need more than the ability to reproduce what they have been taught. They need opportunities to think beyond the obvious.
But here is the question for us as educators:
Can creativity actually be taught and developed? And what are we doing in our classrooms that may unintentionally be limiting it?
Join Teachers With A Vision (TWAV) for our next professional development session:

🧠 DEVELOPING CREATIVITY IN CHILDREN
📅 Saturday, October 10, 2026

TEACHER, PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND LOOK AROUND YOUR CLASSROOM.

Sitting before you may be a future engineer, entrepreneur, scientist, hospital administrator, technology innovator, or the founder of a company that has not even been imagined yet.

Tomorrow’s industry leaders are in our classrooms today.

And that should change the way we teach.

Our responsibility cannot end with helping students pass examinations or arrive at the correct answers. We must be intentional about developing their ability to solve problems.

The future will need people who can identify problems, ask good questions, analyze information, think creatively, collaborate with others, make decisions, and develop solutions.

That preparation begins now—in our classrooms.

Every time we allow a child to wrestle with a problem instead of immediately giving the answer, we are building capacity.

Every time we ask, “How do you know?” “What could you try differently?” “Is there another way?”, we are developing thinkers.

And every time students are given opportunities to solve real-life problems, test their ideas, make mistakes, improve their solutions, and explain their reasoning, we are preparing them for much more than an examination.

We are preparing them to lead.

Teachers, we are not simply teaching the children in front of us today. We are helping shape the people who will solve tomorrow’s problems, build tomorrow’s organizations, and lead tomorrow’s industries.

Let’s teach them not only what to know, but how to think, adapt, create, and solve problems.

NUMERACY + LITERACY: The Foundation for Problem-Solving

To my elementary Math and English Language teachers:

When we teach children to read, write, count, calculate, measure, and interpret information, we are doing more than preparing them to pass Math and English exams.

We are giving them the tools to solve problems.

Think about it.

📖 Literacy helps a child understand the problem.
Can I read it?
Can I identify the important information?
Can I ask the right questions?
Can I explain what I understand?
Can I communicate my solution?

🔢 Numeracy helps a child make sense of the problem quantitatively.
What do the numbers tell me?
Can I estimate, measure, compare, calculate, identify patterns, or interpret data?
Does my answer make sense?

💡 Problem-solving brings both together.

The shift does not necessarily require a new curriculum. We can adapt what we are already teaching.

Instead of teaching addition only as:

35 + 27 = ?

Try:

"Our class needs 70 exercise books. We already have 35. Another teacher gives us 27. Do we have enough? If not, how many more do we need?"

Now the child must read, understand, calculate, make a decision, and explain.

For an English lesson, instead of stopping after reading a story and answering comprehension questions, ask:

"What problem did the character face? What evidence tells you this? What other solutions could the character have tried? Which solution would you suggest, and why?"

Same literacy objective. Deeper thinking.

How can we adapt our lessons?

🔹 Turn some exercises into real-life situations children recognize.
🔹 Ask questions with more than one possible approach.
🔹 Include numbers, prices, measurements, time, tables, or simple data in reading activities.
🔹 Include reading, discussion, explanation, and justification in Math activities.
🔹 Ask “How do you know?” “What would you do?” “Is there another way?”
🔹 Occasionally give students incomplete information and let them identify what else they need to know.
🔹 Allow students to explain and defend their solutions—not just give an answer.

Our goal should not only be:

Can this child read?
Can this child calculate?

We should also be asking:

Can this child use what they can read and calculate to solve a problem?

Literacy gives children the language to understand and communicate.

Numeracy gives them the tools to quantify, compare, analyze, and reason.

Problem-solving teaches them to put those skills to work.

That is how foundational learning becomes preparation for life—not just preparation for the next examination.

As Teachers Head Back Into the Classroom …

As we establish classroom cultures that support our teaching strategies, here’s an important rule of thumb:

Don’t manage every behavior. Build a culture where students increasingly learn to manage themselves.

A teacher can have an excellent classroom-management strategy, but if the underlying culture is built on fear, embarrassment, inconsistency, or excessive teacher control, we may produce compliant students without developing responsible students.

The goal of classroom management should go beyond getting students to “behave.” We want students to gradually learn to make good choices, solve conflicts, take responsibility, regulate themselves, and contribute positively to their learning community.

As you step into your classroom on Monday, remember:

Manage less. Model more.
Control less. Build responsibility more.
Correct with dignity.
Create the culture you want your students to eventually carry without you.

Here are a few practical strategies that can help you build that kind of helpful classroom culture. 👇🏽
