Welcome to World Teacher's Day!
World Teachers' Day, held annually on October 5 since 1994, commemorates teachers’ organizations worldwide. Its aim is to mobilize support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.
According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development.
Education International (EI) (the global union federation that represents education professionals worldwide) strongly believes that World Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.
Over 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 401 member organizations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession.

Orange Add Another QB Target to 2016 Class (TNIAAM; Pilatzke)
Tim Lester was a busy man while the Syracuse Orange had their bye week. In addition to watching Zack Weatherly of Christ Presbyterian Academy (TN) conduct a throwing session this week, Lester stopped into Zachary High School in Louisiana to watch Lindsey Scott throw as well.
Scott is a 6'0" 205 lbs. dual threat QB who is rated three-stars and ranked the 29th best dual-threat QB in the country, according to Stephen Bailey. Scott boasts twelve scholarship offers including Army, Air Force, Harvard, Navy and Louisiana-Monroe.
According to his Hudl page, Scott runs a sub 4.5 40 yard dash. He used that speed to rush for 965 yards and 15 TDs in his junior year, while also throwing for over 2,200 yards and 24 TDs through the air and only eight interceptions. Syracuse continues to look to fill its last QB spot for 2016 and Scott remains on the radar, as well SMU commit David Moore, and Tennessee-Chattanooga commit Zack Weatherly.

2017 Four-Star LB Dunning to Visit Syracuse (TNIAAM; Pilatzke)
The Syracuse Orange have located lots of talent at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale Florida over the years, including current Orange Sam Clausmanand Colin Byrne, as well as former 2016 target Michael Irvin, who ultimately committed to his father's alma mater, Miami. The Orange have also already offered scholarships to four STA Raiders for the 2017 recruiting cycle.
Tyler Dunning is a four-star linebacker for the Raiders and is currently verbally committed to the University of Miami. The Orange offered Dunning a scholarship this past week. Now, according to Scout, Dunning wants to set up a visit to Syracuse after his season is over. Dunning said he is being recruited by Offensive Line Coach Joe Adam and receives texts from him on a daily basis.
Dunning also said that he wouldn't "big time any schools just because he is committed to Miami, because they're giving me a chance to take my talents to the next level," according to Scout's Corey Bender. Despite his verbal commitment, Dunning said he would keep his options open and still look around and enjoy the recruiting process. Dunning also expressed some disappointment in Miami's loss to Cincinnati this week but was interested in how the team would bounce back. He hopes to also visit Pitt, Alabama, UCF, Ole Miss, Arkansas, LSU and Florida.

ACC Roundup: A QB Catches a TD, Clemson's Big Win and More (DO; Fortier)
Even with Virginia and Syracuse on bye, the Atlantic Coast Conference still kept things busy in Week 5. Every intraconference game was decided by eight points or fewer and one team had a special trick up its sleeve.
Intra-Conference:
Quarterback Marquise Williams caught a 37-yard touchdown pass when North Carolina (4-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) ran a trick play in its eventual 38-31 win over Georgia Tech (2-3, 0-2).
Pittsburgh (3-1, 1-0) saw redshirt freshman running back Qadree Ollison rush for 122 yards on 19 carries as the Panthers beat Virginia Tech (2-3, 0-1), 17-13.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson’s 121 rushing yards led Louisville (2-3, 1-1) to 20-13 win, handing NC State (4-1, 0-1) its first loss.
Duke (4-1, 2-0) won a game without scoring a touchdown for the first time since 1978 as Ross Martin kicked the Blue Devils over Boston College (3-2, 0-2) by a final score of 9-7.
Dalvin Cook ran for 94 yards before leaving with a hamstring injury, but No. 11 Florida State (4-0, 2-0) didn’t slow down with Cook’s exit. Johnathan Vickers ran for a touchdown in Cook’s absence as the Seminoles won 24-16 over Wake Forest (2-3, 0-2).
Winners:
After scoring a last-second touchdown, No. 6 Notre Dame had to try a two-point conversion to tie the game with No. 12 Clemson (4-0, 2-0), but a Tigers goal-line stand gave Clemson the win over the higher-ranked opponent.
Losers:
On Thursday, Miami (3-1) fell to Cincinnati on the road by a score of 34-23.
