As summer and the end of the school year approaches, it’s time to give up on it for teachers during the National Teacher Appreciation Week, which runs from Monday, May 5th to Friday, May 9th.
Parents of K-12 students consistently valued teachers, with 73% of respondents rating their child’s teachers as good or good. Its rating from 2023 was slightly higher than the 2018 71% mark.
Meanwhile, many teachers (77%) who participated in the April 2024 Pew Survey considered their work “frequently stressful” or “overwhelming” (68%).
A survey conducted between March 26th and April 1st showed that Horace Mann Educators Corporation felt that more than 30% were not valued in a survey that provides financial services and insurance to educators, but the majority said they were committed to students and calling. Financial Services Company is expanding National Teacher Application Week to a one-month virtual event.
What is National Teachers Appreciation Week?
National Parent Teaching Week was born in 1984 by the National Parent Teacher Association, and in May a week was designated to honor teachers. The National Education Association was already supporting National Teacher Day.
The first Lady Eleanor Roosevelt of the time helped start it all in 1953 by creating a day to honor teachers to Congress, the We Are Teachers website states. “It is absolutely impossible to give teachers only financial compensation by paying back the dedication to their work and the love they have to go to each child,” Roosevelt wrote at the time. “But if we were aware of their importance, I think we could compensate our community teachers a little more appropriately.”
Do you want your favourite teacher to be recognized? The National PTA and NEA websites, as well as the We Are Teachers website, all have ideas and projects.
Many restaurant companies also offer great deals and specials for teachers. There are several specials on the gift card. If you want to give your teacher something to get away from work and strengthen yourself. This is the summary.
