老师的职责是什么？教导下一代，指引下一代，为他们的成长铺好路。相信很多人都会是这样认为。
就在3月18日，迪拜的“Global Teacher Price”中，英国的美术老师安卓亚·卓菲拉库（Andria Zafirakou）成功获得了“全球最佳老师”的奖项，击败了来自全球的各个优秀老师，并赢得了100万美元的奖金。
（文中附带演讲视频+英文演讲稿）
一．在困难的环境下教书育人
安卓亚·卓菲拉库在英国伦敦的阿尔伯顿社区学校教书，这里是英国内最平穷的地区之一。
为什么这么说呢？让罐头菌给大家科普一下。
阿尔伯顿（Alperton）在伦敦的西北面，位于其中的布伦特地区。其中地区中大部分人人口都是由黑人和少数民族人群组成，其中亚洲人口就占了有43.2%，只有极少部分人口是白人。
由于其中包括印第安人，亚洲人，白人等各族人群，文化与人群之间的冲突不可避免地会常常发生。因此，本地区的经济发在在全英国上来看算是十分落后，并且经常有*力暴**事件的发生。
环境可以影响一个人，甚至可以改变一个人。在一个到处充满*力暴**文化和犯罪的地区，罐头菌相信，在这里教书并不容易。
而我们的“全球最佳教师”安卓亚·卓菲拉库，就是在这样的环境下，给她的学生教书。
对此，卓菲拉库自己也称：“我们的学校在一个贫穷并且被剥削的地区，我们的学生甚至会经历犯罪，看见很多国内的*力暴**事件。”
二．为了与学生更好地沟通，自学35门语言
就像罐头菌开头引用的话语一样，为了更好地互相理解，需要更好地互相沟通。
那到底怎么样才能和这些学生互相沟通，更加好地互相了解呢？
虽然在学校中，学校身处在英国本土，因此有85%的学生都是用英语作为交流语言的，但是为了与学生更好地交流，顺畅地教学，并通过母语与学生简历更亲密的关系，卓菲拉库决定走上了自学语言的道路。
这很明显是一条不容易的道理，因为在阿尔伯顿地区，本地居民就有多达130多种语言，要全部学会，花一辈子都没可能。
但是经过了努力，卓菲拉库最后还是成功掌握了35门语言。
35门语言！什么概念，现在很多人不要说二外，就连掌握英语都还需要不断花费力气，而卓菲拉库却掌握了35门语言。（罐头菌觉得这简直就是超人）
这其中包括很多古吉拉特语（印度所说语言之一，也是巴基斯坦少数民族语言）、北印度语、泰米尔语（印度所用语言之一）和葡萄牙语。
而这辛苦的语言学习也还来了很多很好的结果，卓菲拉库利用对不同文化的了解，重新设计了课程，课程针对不同人群，不同民族，不同背景的学生。同时，设立了不同的兴趣俱乐部，在校外与学生和家长一同乘坐公交车，这些举动都让她更加了解学生，并受到了一致的好评。
而她的奉献也获得了全球的点赞。
卓菲拉库对此表示：虽然在这样的环境下我们很困难，但是正因为在这样的环境下，我更加爱我的工作。让年轻人远离*力暴**，不让*力暴**进入到校门口，这是我们的职责。
卓菲拉库在获奖当天上台进行了演讲，让我们看看她讲了什么吧：

Wow.Good evening everyone how are you. Fine, you ask me ask me.
I've not practiced my speech, so please forgive me if I mess it up slightly, But first of all thank you to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.Thank you to sunny Varkey and the Varkey foundation.I want to share this honor with my fellow teachers and wonderful students at Albertan Community School in Brent London.
London!
Now I think I know how it feels. Now I also want to share this honor with my fellow finalists incredible people, incredible. And all the teachers from all over the world, because tonight it's not about one person.It's about celebrating all the teachers and recognizing the important role they play in shaping the future for our children .
I know the people who have influenced me the most. My mum, my dad, who are somewhere here. Where are you mum? Yeah!
The Greek family have arrived. Also Thank you to my incredible rock my husband my beautiful daughters Sofia Anna Maria and my head teacher my boss who is in this building today.So thank you very much!
For his support and also to all my incredible friends who have been my inspiration. The community where I teach him Brent is beautifully diverse and indeed is one of the most multicultural communities in the world.
Nearly half of our residents were born outside the UK and over a hundred different languages are spoken by our students in our schools. For many of our students, English is not the main language spoken at home.
It's also community where many of our students unfortunately live in challenging circumstances. They have tough lives. They live in crowded homes and sometimes It's a challenge for them to find peace and a quiet place to study. Others are unable to stay for after-school activities, because they are carers or have to look after their younger brothers and sisters Whilst their parents go to work. What is amazing is that, whatever issues they are having at home, whatever is missing from their life or causing them pain. Our school is theirs!
And I know that if our school could open at six o'clock in the morning there would be a queue of children waiting outside at five o'clock in the morning. That's how phenomenal they are. So the most important thing that we can do as teachers is to ensure that our schools are safe havens. We also have students who have stable home lives and they choose to come to our school. This is because our school celebrates diversity and shapes them into real citizens who accept and appreciate one another.
So it's all the students all over the world. I say whatever your circumstances, whatever your troubles. Please know that you have the potential to succeed in whatever your dreams may be and that is a right that nobody should take from you. Yeah, absolutely.
Since I was young my dream was to be in art and textiles teacher. I am proud to be an art and textiles teacher. The arts have to fight for space in the curriculum and for funding, they are often the first budgets to be cut. This is so wrong.
You can clap now!
The arts teach students how to think creatively which will be important for the jobs they are likely to do when they leave school. They also teach resilience and the perseverance can pay off . For my students the arts provide a sanctuary a place where they can safely express themselves and connect with their identity.
We know that students who spend more time on the arts can become more successful at the rest of their studies too. my students are evidence of this. They thrive, look at our results for a curriculum that embraces the Arts.
I just spent the most amazing few days meeting with other phenomenal teachers. Phenomenal teachers and they have come from all over the world. I am celebrating this win with you and all our teachers back home.
That is for all of us.
Thank you very much!
三. 网友说：真想扇自己老师一巴掌
网友看到，之后，纷纷对老师点赞，同时吐槽自己的语言水平：
但却又一个这样的评论：
这是怎么回事？
是谁给你这样的胆子说这样的话的？
不过看见有人在下面骂你，罐头菌算是放心了。
对于本文你有什么想说的？
