Each year, UNESCO celebrates World Teachers' Day internationally on 5 October and in Australia on the last Friday in October.
This year's global theme is The transformation of education begins with teachers:
It is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally.
Our Secretary Education and Public Awareness - neuroscientist, educator, former WA Chief Scientist Professor Lyn Beazley - shares her appreciation of and respect for teachers, including a story of a teacher who shaped her life.
You can share your own story of a teacher who changed your life by creating a customised tile and share it on social media!
