Teacher Retention | Remote Work | School Leadership
Teachers have a tremendous impact on the learning and lives of their students and communities, and planning a unique and powerful teacher appreciation week is one way to celebrate their incredible contributions. School and district leaders can use the strategies below as a starting point to plan meaningful ways to recognize all that they do, every day.
Tips for choosing the right strategies:
-
Find a way to gather data from your teams about what would make them feel the most appreciated--this could be as simple as a survey asking teachers directly or a brainstorming session with leaders who know your teachers the best.
-
Get insights from your larger community to leverage their strengths and expertise--This is a great way to tap into the resources you already have to show appreciation to your teachers!
-
Beyond Teacher Appreciation Week, consider how you will continue to plan opportunities to provide support, recognition, and positive experiences for your teachers and broader school community.
