Teacher magazine

Teachers play a vital role in shaping the people we become. To celebrate World Teachers’ Day this year, we asked 5 educators to ‘tell us about a teacher that helped to shape the person you are today.’ 

In our annual reader survey, we ask: How did your own teachers have a positive impact on you as a student? How has their influence shaped who you are today? On this World Teachers’ Day, we shine a spotlight on the lasting impact of the profession by sharing some of your responses.

As we start to turn our minds to the end of this school year, at Teacher, we take the time to invite you to share your feedback with us. Our annual reader survey launched this month and is open until 6 November 2026. In this episode, we take you through some early responses and other recent content highlights. 

At Teacher, we love hearing from our audience about the positive impact their teaching is having on students in their settings. It’s not just teachers and school leaders that we hear from. Teacher reader and school parent Barbara Vieira contacted the editorial team to share the impact a teacher had on her daughter and her achievements in STEM.

Our 2026 reader survey opened today! Take a few moments to let us know your feedback on Teacher magazine and what you’d like to see from us in the future. If you’re based in Australia, you’ll also go into the draw to win a $550 book bundle from Amba Press. 

A key focus of Teacher is providing a platform for educators to share with and learn from each other. In this episode of Teacher Staffroom, we share some recent school examples we’ve published from all over the country.
