Top Gifts to Show Appreciation for Teachers
Special to The Truth
When it comes to showing
teachers appreciation for all that they do, a personal gift
is always appreciated. However, sometimes what they really
want is the proper tools to help them in the classroom.
Teachers spent an average
of $745 on supplies during the 2019-2020 school year,
according to an AdoptaClassroom.org survey, much of which
was out of their own pockets, and nearly half of all
teachers said their spending has increased since distance
learning began.
So, if you are thinking
about giving gifts to the teachers in your life, skip the
apple and consider these useful items instead:
1. With a built-in
learning system and a portable frame, Casio keyboards are a
good choice for music educators. Some models even have
lighting key systems, making it easy for teachers to
demonstrate proper finger placement while practicing social
distancing.
2. From hand sanitizer to
disinfecting wipes, some of the essentials needed for
keeping a classroom hygienic are in short supply these days.
These basics may not be glamorous, but they will help keep
teachers and their students happy and healthy.
3. The latest models of
projectors offer features that far exceed their predecessors
of even just a few years ago and are an invaluable tool for
those teaching on site this year. In some cases, it only
takes one click to enable teachers and students to delve
right into the material. With Casio classroom projectors,
wireless features allow educators to efficiently project
their own display or select a student’s device to facilitate
safe and socially distanced moderation and discussion.
4. These days, a good pair
of noise-cancelling headphones with a high-quality
microphone can help ensure that a teacher’s words are heard
loud and clear and that nothing distracts them while
conducting class over video chat.
5. Math teachers can gift
themselves new tools by simply visiting Casio Cares at
casioeducation.com, a site providing free support, software
and math lessons for K through 12, along with a free web-
based calculation tool that includes graphing, geometry and
statistics functionality.
Teachers are working
harder than ever to provide high-quality education to
students, and brand new challenges are cropping up every
day. Consider finding ways to show your appreciation for
their efforts which can actually help them do their job.
