World Teachers’ Day 2024 – American Board Blog


World Teachers’ Day 2024 (October 5) will focus on the theme “Valuing teacher voices: Towards a new social contract for education.” This year, we’ll emphasize the critical importance of listening to and empowering teachers as we reimagine the future of education.

World Teachers’ Day 2024

Teachers are at the forefront of the education system. They understand the needs of their students, the challenges of modern classrooms, and the evolving skills required in today’s world. Their insights and experiences are essential in shaping education policies and practices. Unfortunately, teachers’ voices aren’t always heard. By valuing teacher voices, we ensure that education reform is grounded in the realities of the classroom and responsive to the needs of students.

Certainly, some organizations are already doing this work. For example, ASCD has great resources for teachers.

Globally, teachers face barriers such as inadequate resources, outdated curricula, and a lack of professional development. Moving forward, it’s crucial to advocate for better working conditions, fair compensation, and a seat at the decision-making table for educators.
