HELP IIRI CELEBRATE
NATIONAL TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
May 2 – 6, 2011
In celebration of National Teacher’s Appreciation Week, we say thank you to IIRI’s 19 hard working adult education teachers. These educators are changing the lives of over 700 adult students every year – teaching ESL, job skills, literacy, life skills, GED, computer, and citizenship classes.
"IIRI’s teachers are our strongest asset - scoring the highest marks in student satisfaction from our adult learners. They are thoughtful, dedicated individuals who have committed their lives to excellence in teaching through good pedagogical practices. Our teachers are caring and compassionate people meeting the challenges of teaching and learning beyond the classrooms in serving their students. It is not just their excellence and commitments to learning that make them stand out. Our teachers develop and nurture the human relationships that make a difference in the lives of students - building skills and connections that will live far beyond the school year."
- Nazneen Rahman, IIRI Director of Education and Training
