Teachers want to be recognized for their hard work and dedication to student success. When considering teacher gifts or recognition, here are a few ideas that have brightened teachers’ day over the years;
1. Chocolate: teachers appreciate little chocolate treats after a long day. Simply place a small chocolate bar in their mailbox or have a treat basket available during a faculty meeting.
2. Small gifts: such as, decorative note pads, cool paper clips, or water bottle. Even consider giving out a roll of student stickers. Teachers often use their own money to buy incentives for their students. This small gesture shows them that you realize how much they care about their students.
3. Gift cards: small gift cards to local book stores or school supply stores will also be appreciated by teachers.
4. Certificates of recognition: give your teachers a certificate that shows your appreciation of their hard work. Design the certificate suitable for framing. Make it an honor to hang in their classroom.
5. Thank you notes: teachers always appreciate it when someone says “thank you” for their dedication to student achievement.
Teachers work beyond their contracted hours and many times feel taken for granted that they are always available. Just a few simple signs of appreciation can go a long way to encouraging good teachers to stay in the profession.
