How to be a teacher everyone remembers? You teach like Anne Sullivan! Anne Sullivan was an American teacher, best known for being the instructor and lifelong companion of Helen Keller, a blind and deaf student. Sullivan was born in 1866 and became blind at an early age due to an eye infection. She attended the Perkins School for the Blind and later graduated from the Cambridge School for Young Ladies. In 1887, she was chosen to be Helen Keller's instructor, and she began working with Keller when the latter was six years old. Anne Sullivan used the "manual alphabet" to teach Helen Keller how to communicate, and she helped her student to learn to read and write using Braille. Sullivan also taught Keller how to speak using the "oral method" which is based on the idea that the child must be taught to associate the sound and the movement of the lips with a particular word. Sullivan's method was based on the principles of the "oral method" and the "manual alphabet" which are used to teach the deaf and the blind. Anne Sullivan's work with Helen Keller was highly successful and it had a significant impact on the field of special education. Keller went on to become a well-known author, speaker, and advocate for people with disabilities. Sullivan remained Keller's companion and teacher throughout her life and passed away in 1936. We award Anne Sullivan with the best teacher prize of being a 'Master Teacher' for the inspiration and motivation she brought to educating. #AnneSullivanTeachings #AnneSullivanTeachingPhilosophy #LifelongLearning In the ELT (Education* Learning*Teaching): Under The Covers - teaching masters series, we take a look at notable educators who have influenced us and education in general.
