“Pero, ¿qué significa todo esto para TI??” Mi profesor se refería a todos los hechos que había memorizado y regurgitado en mi respuesta.. ¿Qué me enseñaron los hechos?? De repente se encendió una bombilla en mi cabeza. Y, en ese momento magico, hicimos una conexión que cambiaría mi forma de pensar sobre la historia para siempre.

When the magic moment hits, it’s an amazing rush,” explains Matthew Cunningham, a 7th and 8th grade special education teacher from Chicago Public SchoolsFrederic Chopin School. “A flood of pride rushes over you. You can see that child’s eyes light up. They often sit up a little straighter, hold their head a little higher, and you can see the confidence of success taking over.

Teaching is the most noble profession due to its responsibility.” – Mateo Cunningham

Cunningham was awarded the inaugural $50,000 GEMS Education Chicago Teacher Award at an inspiring gala at The Field Museum in Chicago on Thursday night in front of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, GEMS Chairman Sunny Varkey, GEMS North America CEO Denise Gallucci, as well as educators and parents across Chicago. Matthew, who credits his Mom (un educador) for his passion to teach, was chosen based on his forward thinking and action-oriented approach to raising the bar of the teaching profession, demonstrating proven innovation in the classroom, and driving excellence both in the classroom and in the community. “Teaching is the most noble profession due to its responsibility,” comenta. “Sometimes you have to inspire kids to reach for goals that are so far off in the distance that they may not even see where they are headed, but it is up to the teacher to guide them down the path to success.

The leading education systems around the world all have one thing in commona top quality, highly respected teaching profession. Varkey, whose schools educate more than 150,000 children in 15 países de todo el mundo, is responsible for a network of over 13,000 education professionals. “Extraordinary educators are the catalyst for excellence in our students,” comments Geoff Jones, Founding Head of the new GEMS World Academy that opens in Chicago this fall. “We are delighted to partner with Chicago’s education community to learn from each other and to grow together.
