We can’t imagine any other year that’s worthy of offering more praise and appreciation for our teachers. On Monday, October 5, thousands across the globe celebrated World Teacher Day. This year’s theme, “Leading in Crisis, Reimagining the Future” points to each and every Leander ISD educator who leads classrooms throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
