Let’s Honor the Contributions of Women who Teach! #iwd
It’s International Women’s Day! A time to honor Women Around the World!
Annually on March 8th, thousands of events are held throughout the world to bring to the forefront what women have accomplished in all the diverse fields and passions and celebrate those achievements. The web will be rich today with information about Global and local activities that will connect women from all around the world!
10 Women who Rock…and Teach!
Today, though, I want to celebrate and share with you ten women in my personal learning network (PLN). These are ten women (pictured above) who inspire, who pour their hearts out and give of their time to this great profession we call teaching. These are women who rock their work, teach many and support new teachers! I want you to get to know them better as you do YOUR work this month to share activities with your students that will help them learn about inspiring women and events in women’s history.
Join me at Edutopia.org and read the full post here.
Share with me…I’d love to know? Who is a woman who has made a difference in your life as an educator? How have they inspired you?
Join me and blog this month, on the accomplishments of Women!

My sister – Dr. Christine Valenciana, Ph.D. is professor in the Department of Bilingual Education and Teacher Education at California State University, Fullerton. When she was a classroom teacher I visited her classroom and fell in love with the learning environment. I entered the teaching profession because of her encouragement.
She taught me as a teacher you effect over 30 students each year. I later became a K-12 principal at her encouragement too. She told me as an administrator you teacher over 30 teachers who are teaching over 30 children daily. After 30 years in education, my respect for her and other women in education is a big salute to each of you and your efforts!
Louise!
Thank you for stopping by to read and leave a comment. I think it’s wonderful that your sister inspired you to become an educator. It’s important to remember the accomplishments of women in our world everyday, but particularly this month.
Cheers!
Wow! This is wonderful and these outstanding educators and so many others should be honored for what they do each day. Loved seeing members of my great PLN pictured here.
I immediately added this to My Women’s History page:
