Teacher of Today
History echoes with the names of great
teachers--Thoth, Hermes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Duns Scotus,
Sidhartha, Mann--and so many others. These men and women have made
the greatest contribution to the world anyone can make; they have
ensured the future. We have only to look at the products of
technology which make our lives easier, the advances in medicine
which make our lives longer, or the advances in the arts which make
our lives worth living, to realize the importance of teachers.
Without great teachers to prepare the scientists, doctors, inventors
and thinkers of the next generation, civilization falls.
Freemasonry in Oklahoma uses the Teacher
of Today program to say "thanks" to those hundreds of teachers
across our state who make a daily difference in the lives of our
children. Certificates are sent to the Lodges for presentation to
the outstanding teachers in their area. This, in addition to our
support of the Oklahoma State Teacher of the Year program helps to
insure that teachers know others recognize and appreciate their
efforts. It is little enough to express our appreciation to these
men and women who carry the burden of the future on their shoulders.
2009 participation
In 2009, the Foundation prepared 897
Teacher of Today certificates for presentation by 184 participating
Lodges. |
