What is Teacher Appreciation Week?
Teacher Appreciation Week (TAW) is celebrated in the United States on the third week of May. It was initiated in 1984 by the National Education Association to honor all teachers and to encourage excellence in teaching. TAW provides an opportunity for teachers and their supporters to celebrate their contributions to education and to express gratitude for the dedication, hard work, and commitment that teachers make every day.
The purpose of TAW is to increase appreciation for teachers throughout the nation and to heighten public awareness of the important role that teachers play in our society. Activities during TAW may include sending thank-you cards, writing letters, making donations to teacher support organizations, or hosting a special event in the teacher’s classroom or school.
