Celebrating teachers, bus drivers, and more professionals in Ohio schools
5/6/2024
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and Ohio is recognizing the efforts of teachers and other members of the education community who are championing student growth and achievement in classrooms across the state.
Educators make a difference in countless ways by showing students the possibilities and giving them the tools to be successful. From literacy development to career readiness, Ohio’s teachers create excitement for every learner and support all students to reach their potential.
Beginning today through May 10, the Department encourages Ohioans to share Teacher Appreciation Week celebrations on Twitter and Instagram and tag the Department’s account using @OHEducation. This also presents an opportunity to recognize other members of the education community in the days ahead:
- May 6: School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in Ohio
- May 7: Teacher Day
- May 8: School Nurse Day
- May 10: School Communicators Day and Child Care Provider Appreciation Day
- May 18: Speech Pathologist Day
Last week, the Department recognized more dedicated professionals:
