Innov8: Teacher Appreciation Week

It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week (which, by the way, we think should be celebrated year round), so from our team to all of the educators out there spending your time (and often your own money) to ensure that all of your students graduate high school and go on to be successful in college, career and life, we say THANK YOU!!

We agree with Ellen – teachers really do make the world a better place, and this week’s stories share tools and resources that can help teachers continue to do a great job of inspiring their students.

And don’t forget to tell us why you think teachers are superheroes by 11:59pm PT on 5/12 and be entered to win one of two $150 Donor’s Choose gift cards!
