It's time for my annual roundup of special deals for Teacher Appreciation Week! It's nice that some businesses offer educators discounts during the first week of May but I think it'd be even nicer if teachers were appreciated every week of the year. I'm publishing a few days earlier than usual so you can take full advantage of as many of these offers as possible.
(Updated Monday afternoon, May 6th, with info about special deals from TESOL Int'l Association)
For flyers, certificates, and social media images to promote Teacher Appreciation Week in your school or community, check out the National PTA materials on their website. They also link to coupons from OfficeDepot/Office Max for discounts on select items good through May 4th and good through May 11th.
