Students are asked to write a letter to an author in response to a book that
changed how they perceive the world. Letters About Literature awards
prizes on both the state and the national levels. State Winners win cash prizes
and advance to the national level. A panel of national judges for the Center

award. Deadlines, guidelines and more information can be found by clicking here.
All Indiana semifinalists and finalists for both contests

the beautiful Indiana State Library in downtown Indianapolis following the
ceremony.
Please feel free to share this information with your school

Today October 5, 2016 is World Teachers’ Day, which also marks the
50th anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the
Status of Teachers. It is also the
first world Teachers’ Day (WTD) to be celebrated within the new Global
Education 2030 Agenda adopted by the world community one year ago.
This year’s theme “Valuing Teachers, Improving their Status,” along with the roadmap for the new agenda, the Education 2030 Framework for Action, highlights that access to an equitable and quality education
hinges on teachers who must have adequate
training, support,
and compensation to recruit and
retain them. UNESCO
first proclaimed October 5th to be World Teachers’ Day back in 1994.
Celebrate all of the teachers in your life past, present, and future!
For general information on celebrating and supporting teachers
in Indiana, see the Indiana
Department of Education, the Indiana State Teachers Association,
and the School of
Education & Indiana
Center on Teacher Quality, both at Indiana University
Bloomington.
