THE RICHEST MAN WHO WANTS TO TEACH
“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, you either write things worth reading or do things worth writing about,” said Benjamin Franklin.
Dear friend,
In the life of an average teacher with a few exceptions, a time has come when an important ingredient of survival was inadequate.
In this knowledge-based career called teaching, there are three elements of great value.
1. Impact
2. Influence
3. Income
One of the richest people in the world today spoke extensively on how he enjoyed the “Impact and Influence” as an English teacher in China but could not sustain the job as a teacher after spending six years.
Jack Ma reminded us that, “Impact and Influence are not sustainable without corresponding Income.”
He rose from the classroom’s obscurity to popularity and prosperity in the global space in two decades. According to Jack Ma, “I decided to test all the theories I have been teaching my students in the real world.”
WHAT WE KNOW
ü We know that Jack Ma is Co-Founder of Alibaba Group (One of the largest E-Commerce platforms in the world)
ü We know that Jack Ma became the richest man in China and still one of the richest persons in the world.
ü Interestingly, we know that his fulfilment in life requires him to return to classrooms as a teacher.
What is the point?
We need to find the intersection where Policies, Procedures and Practices (PPP) meet in education.
We need Income that would guarantee the sustainability of Impact and Influence that the job demands so that our education system does not suffer the loss of giants.
In his book, “The Pathways of Highly Successful Global Teachers”, Jamiu Temitope Aliyu provides insights with which classroom practices have been commercialized in today’s digital economy.
There are economic incentives and enrichment that international minded practitioners can access.
We may not have the luxury of leaving for two decades and returning as one of the richest persons in the world like Jack Ma, however, we can seize opportunities that 23 highly successful global teachers from 20 different countries have to offer.
