Guan Ai Teachers Start a Blog
Recently, the principal of Guan Ai School, Sun Huimiao, started a blog for Guan Ai! It’s a great idea and the teachers have taken to it with enthusiasm. The account is shared by all the teachers and each teacher posts on it at least once a week about any topic related to the school. Some have shared stories about students or how they deal with problems in teaching or thoughts about education in general. The blog can be viewed here. There’s some great stuff on there, including this impassioned defense of rural teaching as a career and this funny story of how two third graders compete to finish their homework and hold each other accountable with methods of their own devising.
It’s really exciting for us to see the teachers writing and sharing about their work. For the last two years, RCEF has worked to help rural teachers feel more comfortable and capable of doing exactly this and now the team of Guan Ai rural teachers have created a platform all their own. Far from dying out or being a stagnant blog (like RCEF’s sometimes is!), their platform is going strong, refreshed by the joys, pains, and insights gained in their daily lives of teaching.
