The Teacher's Diary (Thai: คิดถึงวิทยา; RTGS: Khit Thueng Witthaya) is a 2014 Thai romance drama film directed by Nithiwat Tharathorn. It was selected as the Thai entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.[1][2] The film was remade in Hindi as Notebook, released in March 2019.
An out of work male teacher accepts an offer to teach in a remote school based on a run down houseboat. There he read a diary left behind by the previous year's teacher - a woman banished from her city school for refusing to remove her tattoo. He becomes attracted to the writer and writes comments in the diary. When he leaves and she returns, she reads his comments and a mutual regard develops.
Fast-forward two years and all my teaching is in the same room. I've gained a tripod, camera carefully trained on the piano keys, and an iPad for ease of sharing scores. Teaching is punctuated by the sounds of my husband who, furloughed from his job, took charge of homeschooling our three children. Cups of coffee were free flowing and gratefully received along with biscuits. Notes and drawings surreptitiously passed in. With roughly 40 students continuing lessons remotely, I was initially in a state of despair. I worried about losing pupils, not to mention the health of family and friends. My best friend of 35 years (also a piano teacher) and I spoke frequently. We shared technology struggles, camera angles and student triumphs.
The majority of parents were keen to continue lessons over the Easter break. My nearest pupil was a stone's throw away, my furthest, 5,000 miles away in South Korea. By the beginning of the summer term I was well in my stride and proud of how adaptable my pupils and I had been. I even gained a clutch of new pupils whom I only met in person much later, at the start of this term.
Spring and summer are always busy exam seasons and I had a few pupils among the cohort who had their exam cancelled and refunded. These pupils I gave a mock exam to. After discussion with their parents, I asked a colleague to act as examiner, and she heard every aspect they had prepared, even generously taking the time to write up comments. Their initial disappointment turned to delight as they moved on and started new material.
I deliberately steered my focus away from exams where possible, and encouraged pupils to explore, improvise, listen to music, and to relish this freedom within the many restrictions we all faced. Towards the end of term there were some queries from parents as to when exams would next take place. Most were surprised to know that it is not a requirement to follow them in grade order, and relieved to know that their pianist could comfortably take (for example) Grade 3 without any previous exam. All the exam boards now offer online exams, a worthy alternative in these times where so much of public life is being suspended and activities centre around our homes.
I like being right and with over 20 years of teaching experience I think I have accrued a large amount of expertise. I am comfortable teaching and conveying my knowledge to pupils of all ages and abilities. Early on in lockdown, in one of the numerous forlorn rants to my best friend, we agreed that online teaching was truly terrible and would never work out. We were only coasting along and hoped life would return to normal by half term. Looking back to March 2020 I can see how much I've learned and adapted. I have been proved wrong, and am happy to have been so.
While I aim to inspire my pupils and demonstrate techniques to them, they are the ones who put in the hard graft. Knowing how adaptable they are, it's exciting to think about how this less-than-ideal interlude in their lives will shape their future. The past six months have taught us all things that are new. As far as teaching goes, the lessons have been invaluable. Where there's a will, there's a way. I had to be clear and descriptive in getting my point across. Sometimes technology won't cooperate. I taught one lesson on audio after a camera glitch. We survived, the lesson was successful. Only I knew.
In general most students made the same (if not more) progress online as conventional lessons. Necessity dictated they had to be more self sufficient (I've a terrible habit of helping struggling readers find notes); listening with occasional sound distortion meant closer attention was paid; and overall having fewer distractions with other activities meant my students spent more time practising.
If I were giving advice to teachers who have shied away from online lessons, I'd would recommend that you give it a go. Keep an open mind, be organised, be clear in your expectations and what you tell pupils, and find fellow teachers in the same boat so that you can share, offload, learn and laugh with them.
Going back through my diary and taking out excerpts for the Journal has been a rewarding experience for me. This is my third year in the school and also the first year I had an opportunity to be a class teacher. I was given the class teachership for class 7. Since I enjoyed my work as a class teacher I kept a journal to record as well as explore the issues that one is confronted with daily. Going through the entries in the journal, one gets the sense of a river that started from the mountains, the waters shallow, swift and choppy, which has reached its middle course where it has acquired volume and depth. I have learnt immensely with them and seeing the synergy in class now, one assumes that they too have undertaken the journey of learning. The entries are some excerpts that could give the reader a sense of this meandering, dancing, river of learning.
Had a discussion in class 7 regarding what are the factors that block us from learning a subject in freedom. After considerable discussion, we listed some points on the board. Finally we saw that three factors created the sense of pressure. They were:
In my last entry I was full of praise for class 7. But things took a turn, maybe, just days after my entry in the journal. The class became noisy and boisterous. There were disputes revealing the fact that boy-girl issues were still operating within the class. One could also see that for them there was a sharp distinction between work and play.
When they talk, they talk loudly. And much of it is teasing or idle gossip. Perhaps the most enervating of all tasks is to make them attentive to whatever is happening inside the classroom. The challenge is to make them attentive and reflective, not by coercion and pressure of authority, but by awakening in them a sense of responsibility.
I am persisting with my demands on class 7 with a fierce determination. Almost every class is a culture class. I think they are gradually getting to understand that I mean business. But apart from this, I am getting a feeling that they might be getting to understand a new way of living.
For all the strong personalities in the class, competition and challenge is the sole motive for existence. The others have willy-nilly accepted this as a way of life in school. About five of them come from broken families, so they bring in the energy of an undigested and a complex social reality. The energy the whole class possesses is the energy of competition and restlessness that comes from being at war with the world. It is not the energy of well-being. Most of them have broken into the adult world. I have seen their energies manifesting in various forms. First it was through physical violence, and then when that was dealt with it, came out through teasing. Once again we dealt with this and the energy came out in playing games that require physical manhandling.
The job of a teacher can be compared to that of a gardener. On the one hand, the teacher has to be the source of growth and nourishment of children and on the other, the teacher must be constantly engaged in the process of weeding. Despite the attention given to a garden, there are always weeds sprouting and a gardener has to remove them everyday. (I am aware that the concept of weeding is a limited one, yet, for lack of a better analogy I have used it.) For the past three months I have been picking up the gender conflict issue in the class. At first, the exploration into the issue had yielded the fact that the boys were afraid of physical violence and teasing if they accosted girls. I dealt with the issue with a firm hand (something which I am learning to do more effectively) and saw to it that this came to an end. Today I can tell with some degree of confidence, that I no longer see these movements in the class.
A teacher planner is a bound book or binder where teachers can store all relevant information for their classes and schedules. These can include daily to-do lists, student information, lesson planning and other key organisational details.
Teachers and lecturers spend a lot of time planning and organising. This is much easier to do when all their information is stored in one place. In a lesson planner, teachers are able to keep track of class information, lesson plans and to-do lists which in turn increases productivity and decreases stress.
After creating the first-ever teacher planner in 1978, Educational Planning Books teacher planners are bought by over 60% of UK schools as well as overseas. They are practical, and functional and are proven to increase productivity and decrease stress.
Order our 2023 / 24 Diary now and join us on a journey of witty sarcasm, relatable struggles, and a whole lot of laughter! From a weekly humorous quote from our very own Teacher's Things community, tracking well-deserved glasses of wine to keeping tabs on juicy staff room gossip, this diary has it all. Get ready to embrace the unfiltered truth of being a teacher!
The story begins with two teachers, Mr Song and Ms Ann, being deployed for various reasons to a remote floating school with a very small number of students. As Mr Song cleans up and sets his new classroom, he comes across a diary. The diary, as it turns out, belonged to Ms Ann and the two teachers, as it also tuns out, have both been sent to the school a year apart from each other, with the male being a replacement for the recently departed female teacher. As he reads on in the diary, he realises that the two have shared a very similar life and experiences leading up to this job, and particularly after reaching there. A unique connection forms in his mind with Ann and, without knowing what she looks like, he decides to find out where she is now and meet her.
