58 | Forget the Gift! 3 Better Ways for Teachers to Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week

This week, we’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation in a way that's a little different. While I’m all about those lunches and door prizes (can we normalize surprise snacks every month?), this episode invites you to reflect on something even more meaningful—the teachers who have impacted you. Whether it’s a colleague who lifted you up, a mentor who shaped you, or a teacher from your past who still inspires you today, we’re taking time to honor them. I’ll share a few personal stories and introduce you to some fun ways to spread that appreciation in simple, creative and heartfelt ways. 💛 This isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about real connection. You’ll leave this episode with something you can do right away to make a fellow teacher feel seen, valued, and appreciated.   PLUS - I'm giving you a free gift... 🙂 ~Elizabeth   Resources Mentioned: Become an Inspired Classroom Insider: theinspiredclassroom.com/insider (and get the free gift!)
