Celebrate Ohio’s
Educators During Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is next week (May 7-11), and we invite you to
help us thank Ohio’s remarkable educators by sharing a story of a
teacher or teacher team using #OhioLovesTeachers on Twitter and
Instagram.
Ohio has more than 1.7 million K-12 public school students. That
amounts to, at least, 1.7 million daily aha moments in classrooms
across the state inspired by Ohio’s teachers. Each moment’s architect
deserves time in the spotlight.
Each day next week we’ll ask you to share based on a theme. Choose one,
a couple or all five! Teachers and district/school leaders may wish to
distribute these shout-out banners to students, staff and even fellow
educators.
Monday — Celebration Selfies: To kick-off our week of celebrating
Ohio’s educators, let’s share some selfies! Take a photo with an
inspiring teacher. Share it on a Shout Out banner and tell us what
makes them great.
Tuesday — Wise Words: A lesson saved is a lesson learned! Recall a
quote, saying or lesson from a favorite teacher. It may be witty,
humorous, inspiring or all three. Share this wisdom on a shout-out
banner, and then share with us!
Wednesday — Inspiration Flow Chart: Of course, teachers inspire us all.
But, who inspires our teachers? Interview your favorite teacher and ask
them to share their personal inspiration.
Thursday — Kindness Boomerang: Each day teachers inspire, create,
motivate and heal. In the spirit of teachers’ never-ending kindness,
perform a kind act for a teacher. Snap a photo of the moment, tag the
teacher/school/district and share with us!
Friday — Lifelong Learning Journey: Teachers give us the maps on our
lifelong learning journey. Where are you headed? Students: Using a
shout-out banner, share your post-graduation goals and how a teacher
helped you explore new possibilities on your lifelong learning journey.
All of Ohio: You are already there! Tell us about a teacher from your
K-12 years who gave you the directions to find success.
Keep it going! — Teaching is magical: Ta-da! Educators have a special
way of making knowledge *appear* in our heads. Continue using
#OhioLovesTeachers throughout the year to shine a spotlight on the
incredible educators in your life. District and school leaders can use
it to highlight staff that go the extra mile. Parents and students can
use it to tell the world about the teachers inspiring them to reach
greatness. Teachers can use it to recognize other educators who amaze
them. Every aha moment deserves a cheer! Share with us on Twitter and
Instagram, and feel free to use a shout-out banner all year long, too!
To share any or all of these celebration prompts, simply post a picture
or video with your story using #OhioLovesTeachers and tag @OHEducation
on Twitter and Instagram. The Department will share your Twitter and
Instagram posts through its social media channels. Thanks for helping
us promote the great things happening in Ohio’s classrooms.
Thanks to all of Ohio’s teachers for everything you do to make a
difference in the lives of students!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at the Ohio Department
of Education!
