“University prepares you for the knowledge side… I was not prepared for everything else that comes with being a teacher. I wish I did more child psychology. In my first year, I had a child who was being physically abused. It sort of broke me a little bit.” — A young teacher, interviewed for Teachers CAN.
“The secret is teamwork and trust. We united teachers and students around a vision so deeply that the results became personal. No one wants to report poor results and be left behind.” — Zamabuntu Blaai, Principal of Concordia High School in Knysna, reflecting on his school’s turnaround for KILT.
