"U vreme dominacije negativnih komentara o prosveti i prosvetnim radnicima, projekat koji izdvaja, vrednuje rad, angažovanje, posvećenost nastavnika i ostvarene rezultate u radu sa decom zaslužuje svaku pohvalu. Čini mi se da je Udruženje pravilno prepoznalo da je budućnost i prosperitet jednog društva na učenicima koji uče, ali i da je ona jedino moguća uz ljude, koji ih uče. Menjaju se pristupi i način organizacije nastave, ali se ne menja suštinsko: važnost dobrog nastavnika i pedagoga i same profesije nastavnika kao osnove svih drugih, ma koliko to nekim ljudima danas izgledalo neistinito. Nagrada mi je najviše značila jer me ohrabrila pokazavši da sam na pravom putu bez obzira što sam ponekad preispitivao svoj način rada i svoje stavove o prosveti. Istovremeno shvatio sam da, pored svih teškoća koje se javljaju, postoji neko ko još prepoznaje prave vrednosti i podstiče nastavnike da istraju."

“The time that we live in has unfortunately degraded many values, among which is the profession of teaching. Your project brings back hope that there is someone who values and appreciates the work of teachers after all. This award has motivated me to continue to work hard so the students, and me as well, can enjoy acquiring new knowledge. Thank you for bringing back hope.”

"Ko hoće nešto da učini nađe način, ko neće ništa da učini nađe opravdanje. (Pikaso) Kao što sam ja pronašao način da motivišem veliki broj dece da urade nešto veliko za sebe, tako je i Udruženje "Živojin Mišić" pronašlo način da kroz nas edukatore pomogne deci da postanu bolji ljudi koji će učiniti svet boljim. Kvalitetan krug bolje budućnosti. Udruženje "Živojin Mišić" nas motiviše da budemo bolji, mi učimo decu da budu bolji, a ta deca zatim prave svet boljim i stvaraju priliku za još mnogo takvih udruženja koja će gajiti prave vrednosti. Izgovora nema, svetlo se nazire, budućnost nas čeka. Budimo spremni jer izazovi nam tek predstoje."

“The “Serbian Teaching Awards” project is the best thing that has happened to the diligent, responsible, innovative, upright and honest teachers of Serbia. Those who are ready to build a world where our children will live. Those who are ready to learn in a time of great changes. The project is an opportunity for the teachers who make a difference to be acknowledged, unlike those who do everything by inertia, embedded in the everyday routine, without desire, strength or courage to change anything in this time of great changes. The message to my colleagues is that there is someone that appreciates and values that some teachers know and understand the way in which children learn, that they believe that every child can learn and develop and that they create the environment and the process of learning that respects every child and starts from their own abilities, interests, needs and other characteristics. For me, this reward is an inspiration, an encouragement, a path, a motivation and support to keep going and endure on the road of changes, for a better, functional education, for every child in Serbian schools.”

“Među pametnim, mudrim i posvećenim ljudima koji misle zajedno o istoj temi, razmenjuju se pogledi, umesto reči. Teško je nešto napisati o „našem katapultiranju“ u javnost, a biti drugačiji, novi, inspirativniji. Projekat "Najbolji edukatori Srbije" 2014. je možda jedna od najboljih stvari koja mi se desila u prošloj godini, ali i u profesionalnoj karijeri, uopšte. Pomogao mi je da prihvatim svoju različitost, da ponovo počnem da verujem u izuzetnost svoje struke i potvrdio moju nadu da nisam izgubljena u prosvetarkom moru prosečnosti. Saznanje da postoji jedno ostrvo na kojem vlada poseban odnos prema učenju i podučavanju, učvrstilo je moj stav da se borim za „zidanje“ intelektulca, jer intelektualac se zida, on ne postaje. Zahvalna sam i obavezna prema ovom sjajnom projektu i Udruženju i nosim se u skladu sa svojom dalekosežnom odgovornošću."

“The “Živojin Mišić” organization is one of the proofs that miracles happen when we least expect them. A “miracle” has happened to me! My twenty-two-year-long work has been recognized firstly by the students’ parents, and then confirmed by the Expert Commission in charge for the selection of the best teacher in Serbia in 2014. The job of being a teacher is the hardest and the easiest at the same time. The most beautiful one, but also the one that bears the most responsibility. We work with diamonds that we need to shape individually, to carefully hone them without damaging them, to care for them, to monitor them, to open the doors of knowledge for them so that they can be ready for life, to make good and honest people out of them. The teachers’ road looks like a labyrinth where we often run into a wall or run in circles, but the “Živojin Mišić” organization has lit the light of hope that we are on the right path in choosing our profession. The award that I have received means a lot to my personal professional development. It encouraged me, made me stronger, gave me the “wind on my back” and crowned my professional work so far. Thank you to the “Živojin Mišić” organization for this impressive project and for the flattering title!”

“Naviknuta da radim bez nagrada i priznanja, bez podrške i lovorika, do svega sam stizala težim putem, onim, koji ne poznaje prečice. Hodala sam sitnim, ali sigurnim koracima bez spoticanja i preskakanja stepenika. Ljubav prema profesiji i strpljenje moja su vodilja, a kreativnost je moja nasušna potreba. Nagrada "Najbolji edukatori Srbije" bila je putokaz na kojem je samo jedan smer – NAPRED! Osvetlila mi je put i ohrabrila da nastavim da koračam dobro znanim i utabanim stazama, stazama znanja i inovacija. Hvala Udruženju ''Živojin Mišić'' koje vraća veru u u budućnost naše profesije, koje ume da prepozna i motiviše vredan i predan rad.”
