Sponsored by the National Parents and Teachers Association, Nation Teacher Appreciation Week takes place during the first full school week of May since its launch in 1984.
Teachers play a key role in student success and sometimes a simple “thanks” is all a teacher needs to feel valued.
The decision to teach often comes with low-to-moderate pay and around-the-clock hours. Support from families can ease the difficult work teachers do.
The PTA provides the following ideas to help students honor teachers:
Write letters and cards of appreciation to your students’ teachers throughout the week and ask you students’ teachers how you can support them throughout the year.
Show your support for the tremendous work teachers do by volunteering in your students’ classrooms.
Nominate your students’ teachers for local and national awards.
Tell us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram how you plan to appreciate your students’ teachers using the hashtag #ThankATeacher.
Pick up the April/May edition of Our Children magazine, which is devoted to teachers’ perspectives and offers parents great advice for building a strong relationship with their students’ educators.
Give the gift of PTA membership to a teacher in your life.
Follow the new PTA Pinterest boards for more teacher appreciation ideas.
Follow the new PTA Instagram account to share how you #ThankATeacher.
National PTA has also created customizable recognition tools for you and your child to use to make your teacher feel special.
