Not all superheroes wear capes, some teach!
If this past year has shown us anything, it’s how much teachers matter. Being flexible has always been part of a teacher’s job description and this past year we’ve seen how important that quality is. The COVID-19 outbreak required teachers to change their entire lesson plans and methods virtually overnight to accommodate distance learning.
Now, teachers must be prepared to handle remote learning, in-person classrooms, as well as teaching in-classroom and virtual students at the same time. Plus, they may be called upon to perform tech support at a moment’s notice. Yikes!
If you’re looking for ways to celebrate the teachers in your life, here are a few suggestions:
- Cards handmade by the students themselves are a treasured gift
- It’s hard to go wrong with chocolate
- A bouquet of flowers or a plant (that’s easy to care for)
- Gift bags or baskets filled with useful or fun items
- Gift cards to a coffee shop, restaurant, or a meal delivery
- The Praise app in Microsoft Teams lets users show appreciation
- Visit AdoptAClassroom.org and make a tax-deductible donation to a K-12 teacher to support their classroom (since many teachers spend their own $$ on supplies)
- Many resources are available at the National PTA website
As Mr. Rogers once said, “Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.”
