May 2-6, 2022 is specifically designated as National Teacher Appreciation Week
Recognizing Michigan's hardworking and dedicated educators - including celebrating the work of classroom teachers during the month of May - is an important piece of the Michigan Department of Education's (MDE) strategic initiative. In appreciation of all Michigan Teachers, each May, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has a few opportunities for all to show their gratitude to those teachers who have positively impacted students' lives.
MDE invites students and community members to help highlight our state's incredible teachers and show their gratitude to those teachers who have positively impacted them through a public shout-out - a digital submission to recognize and thank a specific teacher for his/her impact. Submissions will be posted on MDE's Office of Educator Excellence (@MIeducator) Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages throughout the month of May using #MIteachAppreesh and can be submitted using the online form or by emailing MTOY@Michigan.gov with "Teacher Shoutout" in the subject line.
Get social with your Teacher Appreciation Month celebration!
