According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on March 19, recently, a Canadian named Maggie? Maggie MacDonnell, a female teacher, beat applicants from all over the world and won the annual Global Teacher Award in one fell swoop. This is not only because she has been teaching in an extremely cold village called Salluit for six years, but also because she has created health exercises for students and cared for them in all aspects.
Sharuit is one of the Inuit settlements in the northernmost part of Quebec, with very difficult conditions and extremely cold climate. Maggie has been teaching in this area for 6 years. When other teachers left one after another, she still stuck to her teaching post. She has created a series of projects for children in this area, such as job guidance and charity fund to provide nutritious and healthy meals for children. Due to the cold winter and remote geographical location, the region is almost isolated from the world, which leads to more drug abuse, alcoholism and suicide. In 215 alone, six young people committed suicide.
Therefore, Maggie created a fitness center in this area to emphasize "good behavior", such as setting up a community kitchen and attending suicide prevention training.
It is reported that Maggie was one of 1 finalists who flew to Dubai to attend the opening ceremony. She was very excited when she was announced as an award-winning teacher. In addition to a trophy, there is also a prize of 1 million US dollars (about 6.9 million yuan). The prize money was distributed by the Varkey Foundation, which was originally created to reward teachers who performed well.
