National Substitute Teacher Appreciation Week, also known as SubWeek, is five days dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of wonderful individuals that fill in for permanent teachers everyday in the United States. This week is meant to be celebrated in conjunction with Teacher Appreciation Week. The dates consist of the first full week in May.
In 2013, STEDI.org will recognize the contribution of the nation's substitute teachers with the Great SubAppreciation Giveaway!
Please invite your substitute teachers to participate in this great giveaway by sending them to: STEDI.org/giveaway
Last year 741 winners from 202 school districts and organizations received prizes.
Thousands of substitute teachers entered, representing 916 school districts from across the country.
Few realize that one full year of a child's K-12 education is taught by substitute teachers. Sometimes with limited training, these valued educators fill a void in what is often a challenging situation.
Planning for substitute appreciation activities should begin far enough in advance so that students, site staff, board members, the community and other district personnel can all be involved in the process. Use creative ideas and remember that no gesture is too small!
Recognition of substitute teachers:
Bolsters morale of substitute teachers.
Fosters a sense of loyalty to the district.
Increases activity in substitute teachers.
Helps permanent teachers become more aware of the contributions of substitute teachers.
Provides incentives for permanent teachers to keep lesson plans current and interesting.
Often motivates new individuals to apply for substitute teacher positions.
May facilitate a survey of substitutes' needs and announce training planned for the coming school year.
