Grateful for my teacher

This group is for those on the journey of being a force for good by acknowledging what others have done for you.

Share your experience of expressing gratitude to your teacher, and teacher's response.

Whether you are a student now, or are remembering the impact of a teacher years ago, it will mean a lot to your teacher and you to express gratitude to this special teacher.

You can write a personalized thank you note, create a card or gift, or act respectfully.

Spoken and written

Write a handwritten note or card: This is a classic way to show appreciation and can be made more impactful with personal stories.

Use three parts: Describe their action, acknowledge their effort, and explain the impact on you.

Be specific: Mention specific lessons, activities, or times they helped you, such as making a difficult subject easier or providing encouragement.

Share positive feedback with others: Let your teacher's principal or family know about your appreciation for their work.

By your actions

Be a respectful student: This includes participating in discussions and being quiet during lectures.

Put effort into your work: Showing you value their lessons by working hard on assignments is a great way to show gratitude.

Ask thoughtful questions: Ask them for their opinion on building-level decisions or about their professional goals.

With a gift or special gesture

As a group: Create a large card or poster board with messages from the entire class.

Give a small gift: A gift card to a coffee shop.
