In 1994, the United Nations established October 5 as World Teachers' Day or International Teachers' Day.
World Teachers’ Day is held annually on 5 October to celebrate all teachers around the globe. It commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. The Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel was adopted in 1997 to complement the 1966 Recommendation by covering teaching personnel in higher education. World Teachers’ Day has been celebrated since 1994.
It is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally.
Meet our Library Director, Julio Velasquez. 📚
"I started my library journey as an Undergrad Library Assistant at the Coates Library at Trinity University in San Antonio. I officially joined the staff there upon graduation in 1993 and remained there until moving to Dallas in 1995 to attend Library School at UNT.
I worked at the Carrollton Public Library from 2002-2011 in various roles, eventually becoming the Senior Library Technician with the Reference Department. I then took a position with Arlington Public Library in their internal IT Department working on various techrelated projects and programs. I was recruited by Dallas Public Library in late 2012 to be a Branch Manager. I eventually became District Manager and then Social Media Manager until coming on board in Duncanville as Director in August 2017. In my role as Library Director, I use the insights gained from my 33 years of experience to ensure the Library team has everything they need to provide services and materials to our library patrons, which include all the citizens of the Best Southwest cities as well as other local communities.
My favorite thing about the role is being part of an amazing team of professionals who are talented, passionate, resourceful, smart, dedicated, gifted, and welcoming. I always joke that my job is to say yes to my staff’s requests and then get out of they way so they can do their work! We all strive to make the library a vital resource for the community by creating an environment that is welcoming and safe for everyone who walks through our doors in search of answers to crucial questions and needs. If we don’t have the answers or resources at hand, we are able to provide guidance and assistance in finding them quickly and efficiently. We are currently in the process of expanding and improving our recently created consortium of libraries with DeSoto, Cedar Hill, and Lancaster. The Best Southwest Consortium’s primary goal is to provide a diverse array of programs, services, and materials through sharing of resources and access to all members of our respective communities. We’re still in our infant stages but very excited about all the possibilities for the future that will give our patrons and community members the very best materials and services we can offer.
Something you may not know about me that is perhaps not surprising, but I’m indeed a bibliophile as well as a cinephile."
FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) this fall.
