Teacher, I Believe in You: Yingguang Organization
向下閱讀
The Yingguang Organization, established in 2019, takes the long-term school companion program as a starting point to accompany schools and teachers in solving problems and finding development advantages.

From participating in the "Library of Love", we observed a different culture in the educational field. We initially thought that by introducing the incentive measures which commonly used in the corporate world, we could provide more social support to teachers who work hard, and thus encourage more teachers to join the book borrowing and reading movement. For example, we would arrange special courses to teach in their classrooms, or invite well-known speakers in the name of participated teachers to give speeches, but interestingly, these public forms of encouragement were all reqested by the teachers to keep them low-key. They were worried about being labeled as a group of outliers, as the glittering fireworks eventually give way to the unchanging everyday reality.

"Coffee doesn't have to be sweetened to counteract its bitterness. By blending coffee beans from different origins and flavors, let the coffee beans themselves solve the problem!”

The rise of the internet has ushered in the era of social communities, and so does the education sector. All the scattered and lonely stars have been linked to form imaginative constellations. Collaboration across disciplines and schools, the emergence of teacher communities, and the sharing of resources have redefined the meaning of "teacher" as "a dedicated worker who strives to explore learning methods, develop teaching designs, and enthusiastically engage in on-site practices." These communities form spontaneously, transforming from the ones being reformed to the reformers, and from being executors to advocates. They do not rely on external rewards, but instead view their own and their students' growth as the best reward. In this reform movement, Ms. Lan Weiying (藍偉瑩) should be considered as the anchor star.

"The key to the Xinhai Revolution was not in Guangzhou, but in the New Army.”

If we support TFT (Teach For Taiwan) in establishing a new teacher training system to recruit suitable young people to dedicate two years to rural education, we hope that this system will not only provide support to the front line but also play a catalytic role. However, true educational transformation still depends on the awakening of a large number of full-time teachers. Therefore, Ms. Lan Weiying (藍偉瑩), a public high school teacher, gave up her teacher's retirement pension and established the "Yingguang Organization" to call on retired and current teachers to become partner teachers. The association integrates online and on-site resources to assist all isolated teachers in facing their unique teaching challenges, allowing the gathering of existing strengths within the system to support each other. We certainly are down for it and willing to participate in this community-to-society transformation.
