Teacher Appreciation Month

May is Teacher Appreciation Month

May 8-12, 2023 is specifically designated as National Teacher Appreciation Week

Recognizing Michigan's hardworking and dedicated educators, including celebrating the work of classroom teachers during the entire 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, MDE has a few opportunities for all to show their gratitude to those teachers who have positively impacted the lives of their students.

Submit a teacher appreciation video

MDE would like to invite 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 digital video submission to recognize and thank a specific teacher for his/her impact.

Teacher appreciation videos may be submitted using the online form at http://bit.ly/3xIYhpe. Creation of a Google account may be required for video submission. For questions, please e-mail MDE-PME@Michigan.gov. Please do not e-mail videos.

Submitted videos will be posted on this webpage and the MDE YouTube channel. Follow the MDE’s Office of Educator Excellence (@MIeducator) Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages throughout the month of May using the tag #MITeachAppreesh.
