This Week In Educational Travel – Super Teachers

Here is your weekly round-up of travel and education news from ACIS, around the country, and around the globe.

— As the school year comes to a close, it is important to reflect on the impact that teachers have on the lives of their students. So much of what teachers do go above and beyond simply teaching a curriculum. We know that travel changes lives – but it’s truly teachers that are life changing for students, even the President of the United States can recall a teacher who changed his life, and he shared that story this week.

— It’s easy to find stories of life-changing teachers, which is why we are so excited for Teacher Appreciation Week, which starts Monday, May 4th. How will you show your gratitude?! Here is a long list of ideas to show your appreciation all year long!

— Looking for creative options to thank your teacher this week? BuzzFeed lists 17 creative ways to thank a teacher – all meant to surprise and delight your teacher without breaking the bank!

— With the next installation of “Avengers” rolling into movie theaters this weekend, Edutopia’s Ben Johnson found a whole other set of superheroes to recognize: teachers. What’s your Super Teacher style?

Of course, keep a lookout on our Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube pages next week during Teacher Appreciation Week to see how ACIS will #ThankATeacher!
