Writing Contest
Teachers Up Tell Their Stories
Teachers Up Tell Their Stories
The contest is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated. You can read the winning stories below.
Teachers Up is delighted to announce the Teachers Up Tell Their Stories contest.
About the Contest
Teachers Up recognizes that teachers are working round the clock and brainstorming ways to transfer learning to their students. For a year and a half, teachers have gone through so much pressure and have done unbelievable efforts as they help their students to learn, but just very few know “the behind the scenes” of a Zoom meeting, a Teams call, an audio text, a worksheet, etc.
It is the time for us to tell each other those stories that made us want to keep nurturing our vocation and supporting the thousands of children and youth who need a human teacher. What has lit up your teaching during COVID-19? How did COVID-19 change your teaching? What inspires you to give your best each day? What is your proudest moment? What is your funniest moment?
How to Participate
Submit a story of 100-300 words long here. The story should be told from your heart rather than from your head. This will make the audience empathize more and appreciate the teacher's job that often goes unnoticed.
Rules of the Contest
Prizes
All submissions will receive a book. You will get to select a book of your choice (subject to availability).
