The Massachusetts Organization of Educational Collaboratives (MOEC) wishes to thank and recognize educators across the commonwealth as part of Teacher Appreciation Week.
President Joe Biden declared May 1-7 as National Teacher Appreciation Week, to recognize the hard work and dedication of teachers nationwide and to observe the time by supporting teachers through appropriate activities, events, and programs.
“Each member of MOEC’s 25 educational collaboratives has worked tirelessly to support students, but they have worked especially hard to adapt to changing guidelines over the course of the pandemic,” Executive Director Joanne Haley Sullivan said. “Tailoring these changes to the diverse needs of students has always been at the forefront and educators deserve recognition for their efforts. Educators have continued to support students with this same vigor and dedication as we returned to a more normal school year.”
Teacher Appreciation Week is held annually during the first month of May. During the week, the National Education Association encourages families and those who support education to recognize teachers in a number of ways:
- Text CELEBRATE to 48744 to receive periodic texts throughout the week that remind you how special educators are.
- #THANKATEACHER on social media. Celebrate the educators in your life by sharing a message on social media, tagging @NEAToday, and using the hashtags #WeHearYou and #ThankATeacher.
- Send words of encouragement in with your student for not only their teacher, but for teachers in their entire school.
