Today, October 5, is World Teachers’ Day and the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is sharing gratitude and admiration for the work teachers do every day.

The theme for World Teachers Day 2022, as selected by UNESCO, is: “The transformation of education begins with teachers”. Today, and every day, teachers within the Board support students as they have their lightbulb moments, as they discover the excitement of learning, and uncover their passion in life. You help our students build the skills they need to be successful, both in school and in the world.

We want to wish all of our teachers and educators a Happy World Teachers’ Day. We are grateful for all the amazing work they do as they continue to inspire their students. Thank you for working tirelessly to create a welcoming environment and for all you do as you grow and learn with our students – making a difference for each and every one.

We invite our community to share a story about a memorable teacher, the one who went the extra mile, inspires confidence and success in each student, and make a great impact in you or your child’s lives.
