Every Teacher Appreciation Week we think back on our favorite teachers who helped shape us into the people we are today. Des Moines Public Schools employs 2,656 teachers and 660 teacher associates in 60+ buildings and programs. This week we are hearing so many stories of schools and families together celebrating educators with food, activities, and plenty of love. Thank you to our teachers for the amazing difference you make in young lives all year long!

The attack on public schools is an attack on equity in our education system. Traditional public school districts in Ohio serve more than 1.8 million students and employ more than 245,000 Ohioans. An investment in our public schools is an investment in our nation’s 50 million public school students. #fundpublicschools #nationalpublicschoolsweek

So cool to see Gratitude Letters featured on NBCUniversal Nightly News in such a meaningful way. Last year, teachers at a middle school near Detroit wrote letters of thanks to their students. Now, the students are taking a turn thanking their former elementary school teachers. Proof that a small act can go a long way. By intentionally practicing skills like Gratitude Letter Writing, we can all learn to experience, enhance, and express more gratitude. https://lnkd.in/enYR4fMu Try out this positive intervention for yourself: https://lnkd.in/efV48uwu #Gratitude #SayThanks #PositivePsychology

“What was the best bit about today?” In life, there will always be hardships. Rather than shielding children from these hardships, we want to ensure that we, as a school, have educated children with strategies so that they feel stronger when they inevitably have to face them. Focusing on gratitude can help build resilience. For adults, keeping a gratitude diary has gained a lot of good press in recent years in supporting us through hardships. For Nursery children, we achieve the same aims by phrasing questions that focus on finding the positives in a day such as, “what was the best bit of today?” For the full article included in the March edition of the Early Years Educator, please see the link below. https://lnkd.in/e4xg2GGq
