Each year, the day gives us an opportunity to pause and really think about the teaching profession. We don&#8217;t use the day to simply express gratitude the teachers in our lives. Instead, World Teachers&#8217; Day pushes us to think deeply about the profession, its needs, and its successes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Teachers&#8217; Day 2023 Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, a new theme is established, put forth by UNESCO and Education International. The 2023 theme is: &#8220;The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage.&#8221;\u00a0Although a large event takes place at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, it&#8217;s possible to <a href=\"http:\/\/webcast.unesco.org\/events\/2023-10-WorldTeachersDay\/\">watch the webcast<\/a> online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/articles\/world-teachers-day-2023-day-1\">UNESCO&#8217;s webpage<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ei-ie.org\/en\/item\/28057:world-teachers-day-2023-growing-teacher-shortage-puts-the-right-to-education-at-risk#:~:text=World%20Teachers%27%20Day%20is%20celebrated,teacher%20shortage%20around%20the%20world.\"> Education International&#8217;s webpage<\/a> on the issue for more World Teachers&#8217; Day resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weareteachers.com\/world-teachers-day\/\">We Are Teachers<\/a> provides a variety of resources including ideas for supporting local teachers and the greater education landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, those considering a teaching career have access to fast and affordable, state-approved certification through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanboard.org\">American Board<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2023 Teacher Shortage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The teacher shortage is a global issue, one that is being felt by states across the U.S. American Board has covered the teacher shortage extensively in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanboard.org\/blog\/teacher-shortage-solutions-part-3\/\">previous blog posts<\/a>. Surely, as part of the UNESCO  event, possible solutions to the teacher shortage will be constant conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At American Board, we believe that removing arbitrary barriers into the profession must be considered. That&#8217;s why we work to ensure that career changers have fast access to certification. Getting people with real-world experience in front of classrooms is a win, especially when combined with the U.S.&#8217;s strong history of traditionally trained teachers.
