WORLD TEACHERS' DAY · FRIDAY 30 OCTOBER
An encouraging word, at just the right time,
can mean the difference between success and loss, revived passion or burnout, joy or regret over what we’ve given our lives to.
This World Teachers’ Day, tell a teacher what they’ve meant to you, and start collecting the words that keep you going.
A CULTURE OF GRATITUDE
Building a culture of gratitude is essential in every part of life,
and it starts with the individual.
It starts with you noticing other people
and actively showing your appreciation for how they’ve made an impact in your life,
sometimes just by being who they are.
This becomes even more impactful as these notes of appreciation are collected and reflected upon as you go through your day, your month or your year.
Join TeachVic and teachers from all over Victoria who are making a commitment to building a culture of gratitude and actively sharing their appreciation.
HOW TO CELEBRATE WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY
Notice. Share. Ask them to write it down.
We actively notice and share our appreciation for a person’s work and impact in our lives.
When someone does the same for us, thank them! And also ask them to share their thoughts in your journal.
1 · THEY THANK YOU
Thank you for staying back every Thursday to help Mia with her reading. She told us on Sunday she loves books now.
2 · YOU SAY
“What you said was incredibly precious to me. A number of us are actually joining together to notice other people and actively show our appreciation for how they’ve made an impact in our life. We are also recording these notes of appreciation so we can reflect on it later. Would you mind writing this down for me?”
3 · THEY WRITE IT DOWN
“Thank you for staying back every Thursday to help Mia with her reading…”
Sam Okafor · Parent · in your journal
OPTIONAL · THE IMPACT ZONE PLATFORM
For the technologically minded, TeachVic has also developed the Impact Zone Platform.
The platform creates an Impact Zone Board and a link for you to share with people you’d love to hear from
The notes and board are private, and can be self-moderated, so you can “accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative”
There is an option to share these notes on socials, but only where consent is given by the person showing their appreciation.
We even have some awesome, one-click artwork for you to use.

Join the movement
Join the movement by sharing this with your fellow teachers, friends and school leaders, and creating your personal Impact Zone Board.
FOR PRINCIPALS
Forward this to your staff
Every teacher at your school can set up their own Impact Zone, free. Forward this page to your staff, then ask your teachers to send you their link so you can leave them a message.
Questions
Yes. Impact Zone is free, and there is nothing to pay later.
Anyone you send your link to: colleagues, school leaders and parents.
Only you. These are private boards, so no one else has access to them.
No. The link never expires, so you can keep collecting messages after this week.
No. Impact Zone is for teachers wherever they work, and setting one up does not sign you up for job emails.
TeachVic is a Recruitment and Career Development Agency, focused on coming alongside teachers, school staff and leadership, supporting them in staffing and growth in the day to day, bridging the gap to a culture of gratitude that fuels excellence and a vision for the possible.
