#IAmMore Movement to Showcase What Makes Every Student, Educator Unique
09 Août 2018 - 12:00PM
Voyager Sopris Learning today announced the launch of a social
movement designed to embolden educators and students to effect
change and to believe in the power of literacy. Called “#IAmMore,”
the movement gives educators and students a voice, allows them to
illustrate what makes them “more,” and to share their untapped
potential. As part of the movement’s launch, Voyager Sopris
Learning is partnering with WeAreTeachers.
A component of the movement is a contest that gives educators a
chance to win a $1,000 grand prize for their classroom, as well as
other exciting prizes. Educators will print posters and distribute
them to students who will answer the prompt, “I am more than … ”.
Participants are then asked to take a photo or video with their
poster and upload it to Instagram or Twitter with #IAmMore, tagging
@WeAreTeachers, or they can upload it directly to the contest
website. Entrants’ photos will become part of the #IAmMore gallery,
from which the winner and 25 runners-up will be chosen.
In addition to the grand prize, the runners-up will receive a
bundle of classroom goodies, including an Instax camera and film,
art supplies, and more. The contest ends Oct. 31 with winners to be
announced by Nov. 9.
“This movement is an opportunity for administrators and teachers
to show how their students have a voice and can be seen for their
potential,” said Aaron Ingold, president, Voyager Sopris Learning.
“A great way to reinforce this message is to encourage students to
share what makes them more than an athlete, a shy student, or a
struggling reader.”
Ingold emphasized the company’s commitment to teachers and why
they are critical to the movement. “Teachers are essential to
helping all students learn and reach their full potential; a
teacher’s influence can impact a student’s life for years to come,”
he said. “We want to celebrate what’s more in each of them.
Teachers are counselors, social workers, motivational speakers, and
more. We want to hear their stories as well as their
students’.”
“The #IAmMore movement is showcasing positive messaging that
empowers students to claim their strengths and potential. It is
timely and needed in our society right now, and we are eager to
help support this effort,” said Donnine Souhrada, executive
director of WeAreTeachers, an online community with the goal of
inspiring teachers to help them succeed by sharing practical
classroom ideas and advice.
