Teacher Appreciation Week (May 7-11, 2012)

cjohnson — Sun, 06 May 2012 17:49:23 +0000

If you appreciate the knowledge you have acquired over the years thanks to your teachers, Teacher Appreciation Week which lasts from May 7-11, 2012, is the week in which you can show your gratitude. National Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 8.

Teacher appreciation week is the perfect time in the year to take a moment to show your appreciation to teachers for all the effort they put in each day to teach and for the education that we receive thanks to them. Teacher appreciation week is a great opportunity to increase interaction between teachers and students.

Teacher appreciation week is not only a way for students to celebrate their teachers but also for people to learn more about teaching as a profession and its merits worldwide since teaching is done differently in each country.

Another important benefit from teacher appreciation week is that teachers themselves can discover why their teaching is appreciated and what kind of teaching is considered fun and informative by the students.
