I leave you speeches for Teacher's Day that will inspire you to develop it on that date or other special events such as a retirement or the delivery of a distinction.
Teachers inspire and excite, therefore, every word counts to reach the depths of their learners and awaken in them a motivation not only in their educational training, but also in their day to day life.

Speech for teacher's day
A vocation of service

On this, our day, it is a great joy to recognize such an important work and share mutual appreciation between students and teachers. Because just as students count on their teachers to foster and support their journey of learning, teachers owe our beautiful calling to them.
Being a teacher is a vocation of service, we exercise our profession with conviction and passion every day, not only to transmit our knowledge to students, but also to teach how to build it.
Teaching is synonymous with happiness, in addition to doing it in the classroom, we do it in a myriad of different activities, because we were born with the vocation to serve the youth of our country by supporting their growth and learning within the framework of a dynamic society.
It is a pleasure for us to materialize our vocation when we express and acquire knowledge in a class with students eager to learn, know and know. Because knowledge is worthless when it is not disseminated and transmitted.
A true teacher always helps with a smile and with a sincere will, transmits his state of mind to his students and not only instills knowledge in them, but also values; the teacher helps them build a positive self-image to foster healthy self-esteem that encourages the desire to learn and be a critical-thinking citizen.
Samuel Arango; A Colombian writer defines a good teacher as one who: "is aware that the best and almost the only peace process worthwhile is to educate."
You are not a teacher to live, you live to be a teacher
Only he who lives for others can be called a teacher. The great historian and novelist Henry Adams says: “A teacher works for eternity. No one can predict where their influence will end. " If it weren't for the teachers, I would not have been a teacher, nor would any of you be an engineer, a nurse, a scientist or a lawyer, but above all, few would recognize the value of knowledge and good values in a society.
A teacher is a being who gives, and never tires of giving, because he lives for it. As teachers we can educate in two ways: teaching how to earn a living, or teaching how to live; both aspects are essential for the development of the citizens of this society.
In the age in which we live, we need to train people with science, technology, culture, values and criteria of the current context. People who understand that more important than knowledge itself is knowing how to feed it, correct it, apply it in decision-making, and above all transmit it in order to stay nourished with the feedback of knowledge.
Today, here, before you, gathered together celebrating a day as special as Teacher's Day, I want to recall the accurate and current words of the great epistemologist Jean Piaget:
«The main goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men who are creative, inventors and discoverers. The second goal of education is to form minds that are critical, that can verify and not accept everything that is offered.
Vocation to give and give birth to the light of knowledge
Celebrating Teacher's Day is a way to recognize and honor the beautiful work of educating; This way of life leaves a mark on each being who lives it both practicing the profession and dedicating their attention as a student.
I want to take this moment, this space, and your attention to thank the gift of our vocation as teachers, a vocation to give and give birth to the light of knowledge, of discovering, of creating, of teaching, of recognizing and admiring oneself.
You are a teacher for only one reason, because you believe in the future fighting for the present through the training of people at whatever level we perform.
You are not a teacher because you work to live, we are because we believe in the human being, in society, and above all in education as the only tool to transform the world.
Being a teacher goes beyond a title, a position; Being a teacher is the product of choosing a way of life that is assumed from the daily work of teaching and learning by teaching. To empathize with the people who make our work possible, to feel and transmit the hope and joy of doing what we choose to be.
And finally, although remuneration matters, it is not what is worth the most, because we are teachers because there is no satisfaction greater than the result of our work, nor remuneration more valuable than the recognition that they give us, that act of recognition, is the best tribute a teacher can hope for. Thank you very much
One of the most significant trades of humanity
The words teacher, teacher, educator and teacher are reason for reflection, explained and differentiated from each other. I have heard and read them as synonyms one of the other, however, I agree with the historian Jaime Álvarez Llanos, who places each word on a different step in the context of teaching.
For Álvarez Llanos, a teacher is the one who fulfills a professional role, a teacher is the one who performs a pedagogical role, on the other hand, the educator fulfills a social duty, and finally, a teacher is the one who gives a human dimension to teaching and turns it into His way of life.
With this we can say that not every teacher, professor or educator manages to be a teacher. I, putting bragging aside but also modesty, I am certain that all those honored today are true teachers, including myself.
But it is not because we are the best at what we do, nor the wisest and most certified, but because we all put our hearts into what we do. With passion we achieve the fruit of transmitting our knowledge, which is to receive much more knowledge back, and awaken the desire to learn, discover and create every day in which they give meaning to our occupation: our students.
Albert Einstein said: "The most important art of a teacher is knowing how to awaken in his students the joy of knowing and creating."
What we teachers do goes beyond our title, it consists of awakening the joy of knowledge, and when we achieve it, our joy is greater, with this we motivate ourselves to always continue doing what we do.
Parents are the first teachers
During our childhood, parents are the first teachers and the house our first school, they are the example to follow that we have, those who instill the first knowledge.
Home education is the foundation of any person and many times, we are not aware of the responsibility that involves educating our children at home, promoting the values of respect, courtesy, generosity, among others, to pave the way. of knowledge by the time they enter school.
Education at all its levels, and especially in the initial stage, requires joint work between teachers and family to contribute to the integral development of the child, that little citizen in training who needs motivation in all aspects of his life to discover the world around you.
It is at this time that the figure of the teacher plays a leading role. Who does not remember his first teacher, the one from kindergarten?
Whether for better or for worse, the memories and teachings of those teachers who marked our lives always come to our memory.
Importance of education
In education, models and paradigms have been developed to adapt to the characteristics of students. However, the great task of teaching transcends the limits and psychological conceptions of education.
Each teacher must enhance the abilities and skills of their students, understanding the principle that each individual is totally different and has their own qualities and characteristics.
Children, young people and students in general should feel that their teacher values their abilities, without comparing them with the rest of their classmates in order to contribute to the integral development of the person by allowing their adaptation to the environment, promoting socialization and giving them a role protagonist in their educational training.
The teacher must make his students active agents in learning, rather than a group of passive people who are only there to listen and copy classes.
Said in this way, the educator's work never ends, with his example inside and outside the school he continues to be the role model of his students, a reference of life for all those to whom he imparted his knowledge.
That is why from our trench, whatever it may be, we must never underestimate the work of a teacher, of one who has more children than he conceived, who daily cares about the well-being of his students, who knows when something is wrong. with them, and offering his helping hand to give words of encouragement and listen to their problems.
That is why we recognize and praise the work of teachers, education professionals, who prepare for many years to practice this career, a fundamental pillar of any society, but we must also highlight the work of everyone who contributes from their space to teach a trade, offer guidance, and teach by example.
The school of Life
From the family, the community, the work, there are many people who without having a university degree dedicate themselves to teaching, sharing their knowledge but above all to contributing to moral growth in the place where they are: the school of life.
We also give our recognition to those people, for having an innate vocation to share what they know from the humility of their being to make this a better world.
Today we want to say thank you, really thank you to all those people who are called teachers daily.
To those who without being shared their knowledge and especially to those who daily get up with the conviction that from their classroom they are building a better society because they are educating the men and women of tomorrow, those who will lift up our countries with effort, work, dedication and moral. Happy Teacher's Day!
