Rockridge Secondary School teachers are exceptionally skilled in the many roles and responsibilities inherent in their jobs. They put learners first. They are sensitive to students’ needs to ensure each feels successful at school.\u00a0 Producing knowledgeable, critical thinkers and complex problem-solvers is important, yet they understand that students\u2019 social-emotional development and well-being are also priorities. Teachers recognize that their role in the development of adaptable, caring citizens is key.<\/p>\n

After our students shared words that describe their teachers, it was apparent that they appreciate their teachers immensely. The wordle created below represents their thinking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am grateful to work with such innovative, dedicated educators who support our learners and model a love of learning.\u00a0 As one Grade 8 student so aptly wrote, \u201cI think the teachers at Rockridge are first of all great at teaching, but they are also all<\/u><\/strong> so much fun and engaging.\u00a0 The teachers at Rockridge make learning fun!”\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Today and every day, I wish to honour and thank our teachers for\u00a0providing experiences that are engaging, spark curiosity, and promote global citizenship.\u00a0The\u00a0role you play in developing tomorrow’s leaders is important and impressive. Thank you for being helpful, kind, caring, and supportive and for demonstrating so many other qualities that undoubtedly are making a difference in the lives of our youth. Happy World Teachers\u2019 Day to teachers at Rockridge, in West Vancouver Schools, and throughout the world.<\/p>\n
