Introduction:

Anton Makarenko was a teacher and an educator, as you are. Maybe you will be asking: 
What did he do to deserve special attention from us all? 
 
This is a legitimate question when it comes to studying about the life and work of a person. 
We make this question to learn from his example. 
 
From Makarenko, you can learn many things for yourself. I will present some lessons, only 
some, because then you will deepen your knowledge about life and his work by reading 
about it. 
 
The first thing you learn from Makarenko is that he was a full time teacher, morning, 
afternoon and night. He felt that he realized what he wanted with his life, when he was 
living with the students - children, adolescents and youth. His life was that of a teacher at 
all times. He did not work for a limited time, or left for the week-end. He worked every 
day. You may ask: what did he get out of that? He made the success of his work, he saw 
children, adolescents and young people grow up healthy and well educated to be good 
people, active in society, with good character. He was happy with that. What do you think 
about this example? 
 
He knew what he wanted to achieve with his work &ndash; to educate children, adolescents and 
youth, regardless of their social status, with family, without family or abandoned to their 
fate or poor. And he was willing to do everything within his capacity to achieve these 
objectives. What you think about that? 
 
He knew the importance of teamwork, the importance of each one committed to the 
objectives of the collective, the importance of trust and value the others had a great respect 
for their fellow teachers and students, regardless of their age. He never worked alone. He 
always worked in a team, and he became a respected leader who defended the goals of the 
collective, of what was agreed in common. Many times he was making plans to discuss and 
decide with the teachers and students. 
 
How do you engage as a part of a work team? Do you think as a teacher that it is good to 
follow the example of Makarenko? 
 
Makarenko was brave to undertake educational activities. He knew when it was necessary 
to make a sacrifice and he took work as something personal and collective. He lived with 
students at all times, be it difficult, sad and happy. He never abandoned the students. He 
had a great love for the teachers and students. He knew how to defend them to avoid 
harmful attacks and he could guide them when they failed. He was not selfish. Do you 
consider it important to you? 
 
The relations between Makarenko, the teachers and the students were not bureaucratic or 
hierarchical. They were human relations between people who were fighting together for 
education of the students, and they were placed as leaders of their own education. 
Makarenko was able to create an environment of family, brotherhood, comradeship and 
friendship between all, and all contributed to the success. 
 
This is just a little, very little of what we - you, me, his colleagues and other teachers - can 
learn from the work and the results of Anton Makarenko. Makarenko&#39;s life is not fiction, it 
was not an imagination, it happened. Makarenko did not write a textbook about teaching, 
he wrote to tell about his experiences with students, teachers, workers, and the surrounding 
communities. 
 
Think about it, learn from Makarenko and feel compelled to be a good teacher, an active 
educator. 
 
That is what this task is for.
