Background To celebrate the World Food Day on 16 October 2013, the IDP will derive the ideas from the Global Food Crisis. More than 842 million people in the world are undernourished. The Global Food Crisis presents a challenge to those working to alleviate world poverty. The full extent of its causes and effects are still far from totally understood and there is significant debate about the most effective and fairest ways to tackle the Crisis. What is clear is the extent of rising food prices. For example between the start of 2006 and mid 2008 the average world price of wheat rose by 136% and rice by 217%. Price rises of this magnitude are a shock to any household budget, but they have had an especially severe impact on the 2.7 billion poor people in the world. Poor people typically spend 80% of their incomes on food. They face a desperate crisis when prices rise...

...School is where students develop skills that help them interpret and adapt to a changing world. The ability to teach skills such as reading, writing, and problem solving, and then apply them to situations in my students’ everyday lives is crucial. Teachers who encourage students to reflect on what they’ve learned and incorporate those skills into their lives develop their students’ critical literacy. And, with this ability to interpret the world around them, students begin to adapt and succeed in a changing world. The student’s journey into literacy begins with a teacher. Social Reconstructionism was founded by Theodore Brameld, in reaction against the realities of World War II. He recognized the potential for either human annihilation through technology and human cruelty or the capacity to create a beneficent society using technology and human compassion. George Counts recognized that education was the means of preparing people for creating this new social order. Social Reconstructionism emphasizes the addressing of social questions and a quest to create a better society and worldwide democracy. Social Reconstructionist educators focus on a curriculum that highlights social reform as the aim of education. For Social Reconstructionist’s, curriculum focuses on student experience and taking social action on real problems, such as violence, hunger, international terrorism, inflation, and inequality.

...Difference Teachers get incredible joy in seeing the difference they make as students gain new insights, become more interested in a subject and learn about themselves. Every day, teachers mold the future through impacting their students’ views and understandings. Teachers foster creativity, develop character, give students lenses with which to view the world and provide students with the skills they need to reach their potential and lead productive lives. Many individuals are attracted to teaching by a sense of service, because they want to make a clear, tangible difference in the lives of others. As a teacher, you see the fruits of your efforts everyday as you use your intelligence and creativity to help students become excited about and learn about the science in their lives. Have a Vocation, Not a Job For many people, their work is a means to an end. They work for a paycheck in order to live their lives. But those called to teach have a true vocation. To those with whom you interact most during your day of teaching - the students - you are not an employee but a friend, a mentor and a guide to the world. A teacher makes a difference in the world by enabling each of his or her students to fully maximize their talents, imagination, skills and character. Enjoy Interpersonal Interaction Teaching science provides those people who want to work in science the ability to do so while also enjoying a high level of interpersonal interaction.

Teachers is not just purely an educator, facilitator or a leader but a hero------ a hero that doesn't always saves life but saves tomorrows. Teachers patience and efforts for us like a river that keeps running and going. They still teach us even though we annoy them, we give them frustrations and also we give them so many disappointments. Even though we give them such headaches, they still stand tough beside and infront of us to save ourselves from being a trash.

...Improving the Educational Attainment of America’s Youth American students are not learning the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s and tomorrow’s world, where technology and economies are increasingly interacting globally. U.S. students are continuing to trail behind their peers of industrialized nations, who have been dominating the academic achievement ranks, according to results from a key international assessment. In comparison, Finland, South Korea, and Singapore students are consistently the top performing students in the world according to their PISA scores. What is it that these three countries are doing that the U.S. isn’t, when it comes to educating their students? Compared to the U.S., Singapore, Finland, and South Korea only recruit teachers from the top 10% to 33% of their top high school and college students. And in the case of Singapore and South Korea, students attend school on average 60 more days a year than U.S. students. By implementing teacher reform and longer school year attendance, the U.S. can improve the educational attainment of its youth. Scores from the 2009 PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) show 15-year-old students in the U.S. performing about average in reading and science, and below average, in math (PISA 2009). The PISA exam is one of a handful of tests that compare educational levels across nations...

...science, but we are a world power? There are over 7000 drop-outs A DAY, with a drop-out being EIGHT TIMES more likely to go to prison. This, of course, isn’t all on the student. Effective principals and teachers account for 60% of a child’s success. If this keeps up, it is estimated that by 2020, 123 million high pay, high skill jobs will be available, but we will only have 50 million people qualified to work them. That’s a deficit of 73 million! 73 million is roughly the population of New York, Texas, and California COMBINED. Mississippi only has 3 million. It is obvious that now more than ever we need teachers, but there are plenty of other reasons to become a teacher. It's virtually impossible to be bored or with a job as challenging as teaching. Your brain is constantly engaged in creative ways as you work to solve a vast amount of daily problems that you've never faced before. Teachers are lifelong learners who love the chance to grow and evolve. Your students will also keep you young by keeping you updated on current events and technologies that are popular with their age group. This will help you avoid being one of those people who still doesn’t know how to charge their iPhone.

For one thing, if your children attend school in the same district, you will all have the same days off. Also, your will...

...Who should be paid more, Professional Athletes or Teachers? In today’s society, there is a lot of discussion on whether teachers should be paid more than professional athletes. Several people believe that professional athletes should be paid more, but very few people believe that teachers should be paid more than professional athletes. Teachers should be paid more than professional athletes because they are more important, they work harder, and they have a lot more to offer than a professional athlete has for the public. Most students my age would choose an athlete over a teacher any day, but me, I choose a teacher. Why do I believe teachers should be paid more? Well, how else would I have the knowledge to be able to write this paper correctly?...

...Microsoft | Accommodating the Differences | The Teachers Role | | Donna Tomer | 7/15/2012 | Students who enter the school building for the very first time experience many different feelings and perhaps many different sights. Among these may be how each of them is different. It is the teacher’s job to explain how the world around them and the people in it are different. Making each child feel like they belong can be difficult but is always possible and a good teacher can accomplish that task. | Accommodating the Differences With the rowing cultural diversity of the world, the classroom has become a vital launching station for understanding cultural differences. Education about cultural differences and different groups of students starts with the teacher. One group of diverse students may be that of ethnic background. Children develop racial attitudes up until about the age of 9. After the age of 9, racial attitudes are likely to stay the same. Before that, the teacher has a good chance to help children develop positive feelings about who he or she is and about whom others are around them. “Children develop their identity and attitudes through experiences with their bodies, social environments, and their cognitive developmental stages.” (Derman-Sparks, 1989) As these three factors inter play, children go through stages of racial and cultural understanding. Also, as a child’s thinking is not yet fully developed, it is important to catch feeling...

...resource our country has. Of all the jobs or careers in this world none of them would be possible without teachers. There are two main points to my philosophy, why teachers are important and who teachers are. Teachers are very important in our society because we need them to provide our youth with the knowledge and social experiences they will need to improve their future and the future of the entire planet. Teachers are more than just people who relay information about a certain subject. Who teachers are, they are anyone and everyone. Teachers are grandmothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters. For anything to be learned it must be taught. I remember many times my mom and dad sitting me down to talk about some situations that might come about and telling me ways to deal with them. Classroom teachers especially in the early years are the people that those students will see most throughout the course of the day and will learn social skills and manors from. I feel that teachers are role models weather they want to be or not, it comes with the job. As a teacher I hope to be able influence many lives and help students understand what education can do for them and their future. The purpose of education is to help students gain knowledge to be used in their career, social, and personal lives. Education is important in teaching students the past and helping them make knowledgeable decisions for the future. As a teacher, I hope to be able to touch student’s lives in a way that when...
