As the saying goes, “Science is a vast sea, and knowledge is the vessel that navigates it.” In today’s world, teachers must continually grow and adapt to new methodologies and technologies. After returning to my school, I began applying the RWST teaching method, which I had studied extensively. I have attended six RWST conferences and actively shared my reflections with colleagues. Among the many excellent presentations, I was especially inspired by those of Sapargul, Gulbarshin, Altin, Zeinegul, and Nurzhan. Altin’s heartfelt report about her family particularly stood out. During this year’s conference, a quiet moment during the coffee break left a lasting impression: a woman cradling a baby in one arm and holding a book in the other. The image moved me deeply—I returned to it several times. At the close of the event, I asked Sapargul Slambaeva for the photo, and she generously shared it with me. I later used it in a discussion club with parents and librarians as a powerful symbol of parenting, education, and the enduring value of family learning.
