| Join us in celebrating Thank a Teacher Day Today is National Thank a Teacher Day, and like all critical workers, this year everyone working in schools and colleges deserves a special thank you. So today we want to say thank you for going to extraordinary lengths to support your students and their families through the disruption and uncertainty of the pandemic, as well as helping each other face the many challenges along the way. We know it hasn't been easy. Join the thousands of people sharing their own thank you messages on social media with the hashtag #ThankATeacherDay - we've pulled together some of the messages to share with you today. Please forward this email to anyone you think may like to see it.  Celebrating creativity in the classroom Among the many stories of teachers finding fun and creative ways to engage their pupils, we caught up with Miss Bate at Delamere Primary Academy. Miss Bate has taken to the skies to teach multiplication tables - using her drone to show factor pairs of 24! |  Changing lives through teaching When FE lecturer Brian Banks' wife went into hospital with pneumonia, he found himself surrounded by clinical professionals who had taken his Access to Biology course and were now physiotherapists, paramedics, nurses and occupational therapists. They each wanted to shake Brian's hand and thank him for changing their lives. |  The Prime Minister thanks his teachers The Prime Minister Boris Johnson took to Twitter to share his gratitude for his teachers, Mr Hammond and Mr Fox, who made a big difference to him when he was in school. He also thanked teachers and education staff across the country for their incredible work throughout the pandemic. |  | | Trainee teachers have gone above and beyond this year From supporting the teaching of classes or bubbles to delivering remote education - this year's trainee teachers have shown creativity, versatility and resilience. We asked trainees to tell us about some of their standout moments in this blog. | | | Congratulations to the Silver Teaching Award winners - announced today To thank teachers for their incredible achievements, we are supporting the Teaching Awards and sponsoring four awards in 2021: Outstanding New Teacher of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, FE Lecturer of the Year and FE Team of the Year.
