Learning from Uncle Ho to sow "bright chalk seasons"

Every lecture is a time to sow love

With a small figure, a warm voice, and calm eyes, teacher Nguyen Thi Canh Thuan (born in 1981, from Kim Song Truong commune, Can Loc) always creates closeness and trust in others. All of this comes from her belief: teaching is not just a job but also a choice from the heart, quiet but full of passion.

For teacher Thuan, teaching is not only a job but also a choice from the heart.

As a professional group leader and a key teacher at the provincial level, Ms. Thuan always sets an exemplary example and is also an inspiration, keeping the Literature group at the forefront and creative in its profession.

Ms. Thuan shared: “I always want to convey the message to my colleagues: Each lesson is a time to sow love. I believe that, not only teaching words, teachers must also sow emotions and instill personality in students. Literature helps students see themselves and others, but that must be guided by a dedicated, responsible, empathetic, and patient teacher.”

From the 2015-2016 school year up to now, the Literature group under her charge has continuously achieved the title of Excellent Advanced Group; 12 excellent teachers at the school level, 3 excellent teachers at the provincial level - those numbers do not come naturally but come from the efforts of each person, from the careful comments on each shortcoming, from the sincere sharing of each initiative...

Sharing and confiding with students is also a way for her to grasp their psychology, from which she can make appropriate and effective teaching choices.

“Ms. Thuan is a meticulous person but not a perfectionist. She always sees the strengths of others to encourage them and when she gives advice, she is very tactful. Thanks to her, we always uphold the spirit of self-study, constantly creating and innovating. Especially, she is the way to instill in students a true love for literature” – Ms. Le Thi Kim Quy, Literature teacher said.

On the podium, Ms. Thuan is not only a teacher, but also a person who inspires in students a love for beauty, for words, and for a profound way of life. From the 2015-2016 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, the provincial excellent student team that she is in charge of, 100% won prizes with a total of 40 prizes, including 6 first prizes, 20 second prizes, 9 third prizes, and 5 consolation prizes. In addition, she also guided 4 students to participate in provincial-level scientific research, winning 2 second prizes and 2 third prizes.

“In our hearts, Ms. Thuan is often not just a teacher but a true inspiration. She does not force us to memorize works but often asks: “Do you think that character resembles someone in real life, is that character’s personality similar to yours or your friend’s?”. Just like that, we find literature more familiar and fall in love with it without realizing it. In each lesson she teaches, we not only learn literature but also love the beautiful values in the literary world ” – shared student Pham Thi Quynh Trang, first prize winner of the Provincial Literature Competition for 10th graders, 2024-2025 school year.

Learn from Uncle Ho by living deeply and brightly

Not only is she a teacher with solid expertise, Ms. Thuan is also an exemplary party member, an active person in spreading the spirit of learning and following Uncle Ho. No long-winded philosophy, no flowery words - Ms. Tran Thi Canh Thuan learns and follows Uncle Ho from the smallest, simplest things. Many times, after finishing the lesson plans, she had to think to herself: "I have handled things too harshly, I need to be softer", "I have not listened enough, I need to talk more with my colleagues", "The way I teach students is not suitable for their perception and psychological development"... Those are the times when Ms. Thuan "self-reflects and self-corrects".

Supporting students as much as possible outside of class hours is also a way for Ms. Thuan to

Supporting students as much as possible outside of class hours is also a way for Ms. Thuan to "give wings" to their love of literature.

As Secretary of the Party Cell, she advised and organized many profound topics such as “Keeping the Party Oath”, “Learning from Uncle Ho – from words to deeds”… She did not do it for formality, but always hoped that every Party member and teacher would see themselves in it. Thanks to that, the atmosphere of Party Cell activities became increasingly democratic, trustworthy, and cohesive.

Learning from Uncle Ho for her is also careful preparation before each meeting, each lecture, and a responsible and honest attitude in everything. She lives fully for her profession, but always stands behind to support others. The Literature - English Party Cell she is in charge of has been awarded the title of Excellent Task Completion Collective for 5 consecutive years. She has also been awarded the title of Emulation Fighter at the grassroots level for many consecutive years, especially in the 2023 - 2024 school year, she was awarded the title of Emulation Fighter at the provincial level, and was awarded a certificate of merit by the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province and the Ministry of Education and Training .

Simple yet steadfast, soft yet determined, Ms. Tran Thi Canh Thuan is the image of a calm and profound teacher.

“A democratic, straightforward, yet respectful and loving atmosphere is the environment that my colleagues and I aim for. And, we have truly created a strong professional and emotionally stable environment. That is also how we indirectly educate students about how to live and work,” Ms. Canh Thuan confided.

Simple yet steadfast, gentle yet steadfast, Ms. Tran Thi Canh Thuan is the image of a calm, profound teacher. After "bright seasons" with brilliant achievements, Ms. Thuan still quietly cultivates knowledge, still persistently learns and follows Uncle Ho from the smallest things. That is the way she quietly lights the fire, contributing to the development of the education sector.

Ms. Thuan is one of the people who laid the foundation for professional quality and ethical values in the school. She is a harmonious combination of solid professional qualifications, standard working style and high sense of responsibility. What I appreciate most is that she always lives true to what she teaches her students, never afraid of difficulties but always looking for ways to be creative and innovative. There are things that do not need to be said but the whole group looks to her to make adjustments. That is the influence that not every teacher has.
