Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at ISTE+ASCD!
To celebrate the incredible work educators do every day, we asked K–12 teachers to answer one heartfelt question: What makes you feel appreciated?
In this video, educators reflect on the moments that mean the most—students excitedly greeting them in public, colleagues recognizing their expertise, and classrooms full of curiosity and connection. These glimpses into the teacher experience are a reminder of the deep connections, small gestures, and daily joys that make teaching so impactful.
We invite you to share the video with a teacher you know—and consider taking a moment to let them know what you appreciate about them.
