Post a note of thanks
Teachers reported in a survey that positive stories about teachers—any teacher—helps them feel good about their profession.
According to TIME magazine, 77% of adults feel teaching is one of the most under-appreciated professions in the U.S. Let's change that!
Dear Ms. Bryant,
Thanks for your belief in the strong qualities of all the kids in Room 27. Thank you for your inventiveness, your dedication, your sensitivity, your focus on teaching holistically. You inspired me to understand that good education is happening all around us, and that collectively teachers can help shape a child.

Dear Mr. Alblao,
Thanks for being such a cool, easygoing, warm teacher. Thanks for creating the kind of atmosphere in the class that set the scene for the most amazing set of girl friendships. You inspired me to understand how the atmosphere and spirit of a classroom can lead to not only great learning, but silliness and friendship.
Sincerely,
