It’s “those” moments that make teaching worthwhile. You know the ones I mean: the times when you have a breakthrough with a struggling student; or when a disruptive child shows you they appreciate all your hard work; or you witness acts of incredible kindness from your class.
To celebrate the amazing work of teachers around the world – and show the positive side of the profession – we want to share these inspiring stories.
But we need your help. We’re looking for teachers to blog about their magic moments. We’re really just looking for positive, powerful classroom stories that you’ll remember throughout your career.
If you’re interested in sharing your story, all you need to do is email us your idea. You can write anonymously if you want, and if you’re writing about a specific student you may also want to change their name and gender. For guidance, here are our previous articles in the series:
- Alex’s turnaround taught me to focus on students not subjects
- Tom was the child no one believed in – but I refused to give up on him
- When I failed to help Peter I knew I had to change my teaching
The process isn’t too onerous. Once you’ve got something in mind, send it to sarah.marsh@theguardian.com with the subject line “Classroom experiences”. We’ll read all the ideas and let you know if we think it could work as a blog. Once we have both decided on the final idea, we ask you to write a draft, then we’ll edit it and get back to you with some changes.
