Teacher Appreciation Week 2020

01 May 2020

This school year, every single teacher in our district was asked to support our students in ways they never had done before.

Not only have they risen to the occasion, but they have gone above and beyond to ensure that every student is able to continue learning even during these extraordinarily tough times. Bedrooms were never meant to be classrooms, but our teachers have put their dedication, experience, and love for education to work to turn bedrooms in every Chicago neighborhood into places where students can achieve their full academic potential. 

Teachers, thank you for your commitment to our students regardless of the circumstances. Thank you for your creative and engaging lessons that inspire students to discover their passions. Thank you for never giving up on the students who need you the most. Thank you for everything. 

Next week, May 4-8, please help us give our teachers the recognition they deserve. The digital media toolkit below has graphics, avatars, and other ideas on how to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. It even has signs that we hope to see in the windows of bedrooms-turned-classrooms all across the city. Use #thankateacher and tag us at @ChiPubSchools so we can share your appreciation for our one-of-a-kind teachers.

Together, even while we’re apart, we can come together to make this Teacher Appreciation Week one to remember!

Celebración de la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros de 2020

Este año escolar, se les pidió a todos los maestros del distrito que apoyaran a nuestros estudiantes de maneras que nunca antes lo habían hecho. No sólo han estado a la altura de las circunstancias, sino que han ido más allá de lo requerido para asegurar que cada estudiante pueda seguir aprendiendo incluso en estos tiempos tan difíciles. Las habitaciones nunca se crearon para impartir clases, pero con su dedicación, habilidad y pasión a la educación,  

nuestros maestros las han convertido en lugares donde los estudiantes de todas las vecindades pueden alcanzar su máximo potencial académico. 

Maestros, gracias por su compromiso con nuestros estudiantes sin importar las circunstancias. Gracias por sus creativas e interesantes lecciones que inspiran a los estudiantes a descubrir sus pasiones. Gracias por nunca abandonar a los estudiantes que más los necesitan. Gracias por todo. 

La próxima semana, del 4 al 8 de mayo, ayúdanos a reconocer a nuestros maestros. Las herramientas para medios digitales que se muestran a continuación contienen imágenes gráficas, avatares y otras ideas sobre cómo celebrar la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros. Incluso contienen tarjetas que esperamos ver en las ventanas de las habitaciones (ya convertidas en aulas) en toda la ciudad. Usa #thankateacher y etiquétanos al @ChiPubSchools para que podamos compartirles tu mensaje a nuestros maestros especiales.

De esta manera, aunque estemos separados, ¡podremos celebrar esta Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros de una manera inolvidable!
