TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
Monday, May 3 – Friday, May 7, 2021
#DearTeachers is a call to celebrate the caring, dedicated educators who give so much to students – during this challenging school year, and always. Let’s send a loud, heartfelt message to teachers everywhere: We see how hard you’ve been working – and we appreciate you!
Three ways your organization can create an outpouring of support for teachers:
Create a #DearTeachers Message
Share a message using the #DearTeachers graphic generator. We’ve provided images and sample language to help you craft a message to celebrate the teachers in your community and beyond.
Join the Conversation
Use #DearTeachers on social media to post photos and share messages via video. By using the hashtag, you’ll turn a conversation into a celebration.
Retweet and Share
Retweet and share #DearTeachers posts on your social media feeds! Together, we can create a powerful moment to say: “#DearTeachers … you’re amazing.”
Share #DearTeachers on social media:
Consider using the graphic generator yourself to share a message tailored toward the teachers your organization serves. Examples below!
Sample tweet copy for sharing your graphic:
Teachers, you are incredible! We’re in awe of all you’ve done this school year – and the ways you continue to be there for students every day. Thank you. https://share.teacher2teacher.education/dear-teachers-2021?code=toolkit

You can also send an email, like the one below, to your networks and audiences, encouraging them to participate.
Hi [[Name]],
We’re reaching out because [[organization]] is partnering with Teacher2Teacher to launch a national campaign for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 3-7), and we wanted to invite you to participate.
Teachers have worked so hard over the past year, as the pandemic has continued to present new challenges for all of us. We want to make sure they know their efforts are seen and valued – this year and every year.
Our hope is that by partnering together and inviting students, families, educators and our broader community to share #DearTeachers messages online, we can offer something special to celebrate the work of teachers everywhere.
Whether you’re a parent or student celebrating a teacher who’s made an impact on you – or a teacher giving a shoutout to your fellow educators – you can participate with us by using this link to create a custom #DearTeachers story graphic and sharing it with your networks over social media.
Or, you can share the link to the graphic generator directly!

Thanks so much for joining us – and for everything you do on behalf of students and school communities.
Go social! Share photos of educators you work with along with messages of gratitude.
Be sure to use #DearTeachers in your copy, so we can see and amplify your messages!
Invite influencers in your network to record and share a #DearTeachers video – or record one in collaboration with your team! Throughout the week, we’ll be identifying our favorite #DearTeachers posts to amplify to the larger community, and we encourage you to do the same!
