Evgeniy Sergeevich Dergachev is a geography teacher at Municipal Educational Institution “Secondary School No. 3” in the city of Obluchye, Jewish Autonomous Region, his teaching experience has been since August 25, 2010.
Evgeniy Sergeevich is fond of volleyball and is interested in information related to geography and competitions among teachers.
Every person is given a precious gift - life as an opportunity to learn numerous lessons, gain certain experiences and become wiser. And our teachers help us with this.
The concept of “Teacher” has been considered sacred since ancient times. The Teacher always conveyed high Knowledge to people, revealed the Truth, and helped them gain Strength, Wisdom and Love. The teacher himself chose a worthy student. He leads students through the years of childhood, adolescence, youth, and performs an imperceptible feat every day: he gives away his knowledge, puts a piece of his heart into his students.
It is a great happiness to meet a teacher who will become a guiding star for you, teach you kindness and justice, and help you become a Human. We, the 2005 graduates of school No. 3 in Obluchye, are lucky. A teacher “from God” came to our school - Ignatova Irina Nikolaevna. Irina Nikolaevna has it all: talent as a teacher, warmth, external beauty, intelligence, sensitivity, patience, inexhaustible energy, trembling, spiritual sincerity. She not only taught her subject, but also taught to be real people who know their country, respect people around the world and know how to love.
Irina Nikolaevna taught us a geography course. Together with her we traveled through unknown seas and countries. We climbed the highest peaks of the world, sank to the bottom of the world's oceans, traveled across all continents and countries, met with Columbus, Vasco da Gamma, Magellan.
We still remember her conversations about the amazing natural areas of Africa, America, and Eurasia. She instilled in our souls an interest not only in geography, but in reading fiction, and this became our passion for life. From Irina Nikolaevna we learned where the north is and where the south is, we learned to distinguish Asia from Europe, and most importantly, we found out for ourselves that in life we need to hold on to each other, help and sincerely love.
She is a knowledgeable, creative and kind teacher. Despite the differences in age, she was our comrade and advisor. We often went hiking, went on excursions, took walks to our small school park, she took part in all school events. Many students at our school have remained friends with her to this day.
From Irina Nikolaevna we learned how wonderful teacher’s work is, and, it would seem, without any effort on her part - we don’t know how she managed to do it - but almost half of the children in our class discovered the dream of becoming a teacher.
Many of us entered the Far East State University of Civil Art and successfully graduated from it. Having fulfilled my childhood dream, after graduating from university I came to work at my home school as a geography teacher!
My main desire is to become the kind of teacher that Irina Nikolaevna was for us, kind, open, a little strict and knowledgeable about her subject. I really want today’s students to see in me not only a teacher, but also a friend, as we once saw all this in Irina Nikolaevna.
And outside the window it’s snowing. And every morning I go to school to hear loud, joyful laughter, to see the inquisitive eyes of my wonderful students, waiting for interesting lessons, wise advice from me, just as I once expected it... And let the snowflakes remind me of my school years, oh beloved teacher.
No matter how difficult it may be, no matter what difficulties I encounter on my way, the knowledge, love and respect of my students is the highest reward for this hard work. Yes, teaching others is work... But I am very glad that I am involved in this work, and I want to express my deep gratitude to my beloved teacher Irina Nikolaevna Ignatova.
A teacher is a profession, a calling, a way of life...
A teacher is a person who creates the future of the country...
The teaching profession is beyond time, fashion, geography, nationality...
A ceremonial meeting of teaching staff of educational institutions in the region dedicated to International Teachers’ Day was held at the Palace of Culture of JSC Krasnoe Sormovo Plant.
Guests of the holiday included both teachers with extensive work experience and young specialists whose professional journey has just begun.
Zoya Shchelmanova became a pioneer leader at school at the age of 16, immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War. Having gained experience and received the necessary education, she moved to the position of a primary school teacher, and then head teacher at the new school No. 21. Later she worked at boarding school No. 4 and at school No. 27 as a history and social studies teacher. Now, being retired after 57 years dedicated to teaching, having received many awards, including the title “Excellence in Public Education,” Zoya Petrovna recalls with pleasure her work and her former students:
I have always loved children very much. I loved communicating with them, watching them grow and become adults.
Having once followed in the footsteps of her mother, a primary school teacher, Nina Serova has worked in the profession for more than 25 years. Now she teaches mathematics at school No. 117:
It’s most interesting for me to work with older kids, because they already reason like adults, have their own point of view, and it’s interesting to communicate with them in class, and sometimes even argue. A good teacher is one who loves children, understands them, and is strict with them when necessary. And, of course, it is very important to conduct lessons in such a way that the children understand the subject and treat it with due seriousness, says Nina Aleksandrovna.
Elena Moshak and Tatyana Vostryakova, English teachers at school No. 85 with in-depth study of individual subjects, began working in pedagogy about a month ago. According to them, the most important thing when meeting students for the first time is to establish contact with them, to find an approach to each:
It is important to immediately create a working environment so that the guys take you with due seriousness, young specialists believe.
As Elena Sergeevna and Tatyana Aleksandrovna said, knowledge of a foreign language allowed them to choose other jobs after graduation. However, they do not regret becoming teachers.
At school, we have the opportunity to gain valuable experience communicating with children, which will be useful to us in the future, the novice teachers explained.
The head of the Sormovsky district administration, Valery Moiseev, congratulated those gathered on their professional holiday:
The older a person gets, the more clearly he realizes what an important role teachers played in his life. I wish you to always be happy to enter the classroom where the children are looking forward to seeing you, and, of course, not only teach academic subjects well, but also give the children your warmth.
Elena Polyashova, head of the department of education and social and legal protection of childhood of the Sormovo district administration, addressed the teachers with warm words:
Teacher is a candle that shines and burns for others. I want to wish you to shine as much as possible, for as long as possible, so that all your students joyfully accept pieces of the light of your heart, skill, knowledge, so that even after leaving the walls of the school, they always remember you. Good luck to you, happiness, love, health, professional victories and as many good students as possible.
At the ceremonial meeting, the best teaching staff of educational institutions in the Sormovsky district were awarded. They were presented with badges “Honored Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation”, Certificates of Honor from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the City Duma, Gratitude from the head of the administration of the Sormovo district Valery Moiseev. On this day, we did not forget about veterans of teaching work. V. Lazarev presented them with Gratitude “For their great contribution to the development of the education system of the Sormovsky district.”
The joy of meeting colleagues, the kind words said by the speakers about the noble profession of a teacher, undoubtedly made the next Teacher’s Day exciting and bright. And, of course, the traditional gift for the guests of the holiday was the performance of creative song and dance groups from Sormovo.

Essay
The teacher is a candle who
It shines for others, while burning itself.
Giovanni Ruffini
Three candles burned calmly and slowly melted... It was so quiet that you could hear them talking.
The first one said:
The candle light went out.
The second one said:
I am LOVE, no one needs me and there is no point in me burning further.
The breeze blew out the candle.
Suddenly a child came in, saw the extinguished candles, and shouted:
I am afraid of darkness!
Having said this, he began to cry. Then the third candle said:
DO NOT CRY! WHILE I BURN, YOU CAN LIGHT OTHER CANDLES: I AM HOPE!
Hope is an earthly compass in the difficult profession of a teacher.
The words spoken by V.O. Koltsov ring true for me: “To be a good teacher, you need to love what you teach and love the one you teach.” I'm lucky: I teach the most fascinating, most interesting, most instructive subject that you can't help but love - geography.
How different they all are - my students: one needs a good grade, another needs an interesting activity, and the third just needs a kind look, encouragement, recognition. And everyone can’t live without hope... This is where the three candles come to mind again: faith, hope, love. They must not go out!
My teaching philosophy is to teach children to believe in themselves! And this can only be achieved through CO-CREATIVITY between teacher and student. Hence my pedagogical commandments:
Believe in your student - empathize
Understand and accept him as he is - cooperate
Respect the individuality of each child, but be demanding - create an individuality
Sincerely share successes and disappointments - warm
Make demands on yourself:
Be open, tolerant, look for the best in students first of all - create an atmosphere of searching
Inspire your students to do good deeds - encourage them to search for new, unknown things
Arouse your thirst for knowledge - improve as a person
Give your student the opportunity to be proud of himself - be consistent with his chosen profession.
I learn to feel the person next to me, to see his spiritual world, and my students change, become different.
The main moral values of my pedagogical philosophy, first of all, are categories such as justice, honesty, kindness, and, of course, hope.
It seems to me that I have already found my pedagogical credo - this is cooperation, co-creativity, co-experience, empathy, creation. Creation is impossible without combustion - these are the indispensable symbols of the teacher, teacher’s faith, hope, love.
The best lessons are when my students argue, doubt, and create.
The 21st century has entered our lives with full power. What is he carrying? What awaits education on the road of life? The school of the 21st century is called upon to address these issues. The features of the new school are clearly presented, since a change in the educational paradigm is taking place. New approaches, new law, different relationships, a different pedagogical mentality are proposed. But, in my opinion, it must fulfill its main purpose - to give students holistic moral guidelines.
The guideline for moral education for me is: act as you would like others to act.
A young person entering adulthood must master many social roles: voter, consumer, client, family member...
In order to successfully realize oneself in one or another social role, he needs certain social experience, norms and rules, the assimilation of which makes a person adapted to life and increases the degree of his freedom.
Among the priorities that have recently been established in education, general educational skills come first - the ability to acquire and effectively use knowledge.
Today, schools pay serious attention to developing the ability to work with information, practice students’ civic position, teach tolerance, knowledge of their rights and responsibilities, mastering democratic values, a culture of interpersonal relationships, applying knowledge in different situations and the ability to work in groups.
I highlight several goals that I see as priorities in the current situation:
Teach to study, master new information, analyze one’s own experience;
Learn to navigate the world of values;
Develop key competencies: solve problems, work in a group, use information technology;
Prepare for vocational education.
A school is created through the painstaking work of a teacher, but schoolchildren themselves can create the image of a modern teacher. A teacher shapes a person, and teachers shape generations of students. What portrait did the students of our school create? According to the results of a survey conducted in September 2013, students want to see next to them a teacher with the following qualities and advantages: intellectual development, creativity, decency, love for children.
The teacher is the main figure in the educational process. The teacher does not go to work, but lives and experiences everything that happens every day together with the children, bringing together all the diverse activities in collaboration with the students.
And this means the lesson continues...

Teacher is a sacred word.
I'am a teacher. A teacher is not even just a profession. It's a way of life. This is an awareness of enormous responsibility to the state, society, and, above all, to the student. Every day the eyes of my students look at me. The future of Russia sits at the desks in my classes. And this is the future that I and my family will have to live in. And not only the life of the country, but mine too, depends on what these children become.
I am the first teacher. I am the first teacher who enters the life of a child and his family. Parents trust me with the most precious thing they have - their children.
A child is an integral personality, and first of all, it is necessary that the pedagogical process captivates him completely, with all his life aspirations and needs. In this process, the child should experience a feeling of constant enrichment of life, satisfaction of his growing and increasingly diverse cognitive and spiritual needs. Teaching will become the meaning of life for a child if it is controlled from his position, realizing internal readiness for development, independence, self-affirmation, and moral formation.
All my students are so different, each one needs to be seen, each one needs to be reached. Absent-minded, dreamy and trusting, they need help and control from the teacher. We, teachers, must not only convey knowledge, but also be able to awaken a thirst for knowledge in a little person, interest him, and then teach - this is the essence of pedagogical skill.
My task is to help the student find himself, make the first and most important discovery - discover his abilities, and perhaps talent. I understand that this requires knowledge, skills, and pedagogical skill from me. There are many ways to make your lessons interesting and beautiful, but the most important thing on this path, in my opinion, is faith in yourself, faith in your capabilities, faith in your great destiny.
What would I like to see in my students? Free thinking, tolerance, the ability to constructively solve problems, the ability to express oneself and many other very important qualities. The main thing is for each of them to become a bright individual, to become a personality. If my kids can do this, I’m happy.
It turns out that for me being a teacher is important, expensive, and I can’t do without it. Being a teacher for me means being happy. I am happy myself and I try to bring happiness to the people around me who are dear to me, my students.
I probably can’t draw the line anymore where my work ends and my personal life begins. Undoubtedly, my path, calling and leading to happiness, is pedagogical work. I don't work teacher, I am a teacher. I like to be teacher. Many years ago I made my choice, and I still think it’s right.
Everything has its origins. I was once taught too. It was my beloved teachers who revealed to me that friendly participation, lively, confidential communication with children is perhaps one of the main conditions for success and satisfaction from one’s work. A teacher should not “work with children,” but live with them, share joys and sorrows, ups and downs, without allowing falsehood in relationships.
And I want to end my thoughts with a wise thought: “A candle will not lose anything if you light another candle from its flame.”
