At the Idaho Department of Education, teachers are the heart of our mission and at the forefront of our service to Idaho’s students. Teachers help us find our voice, focus our interests, overcome obstacles, turn dreams into reality and succeed in the classroom and in life.

We owe our educators a round of applause for ensuring that Idaho’s students continue to excel, no matter the circumstances. For Teacher Appreciation Week 2023 (May 8 – May 12), we invite you to join us in elevating and celebrating the dedication, passion and accomplishments of Idaho’s talented teachers.

If there’s a teacher who’s made an impact in your life, we’d like to help you tell them. Whether it’s a card, a gift or a kind word, it’s time to celebrate our amazing teachers and everything they bring to our communities!

However you celebrate a teacher this Teacher Appreciation Week, make sure to share on social media with the hashtag #ThankIdahoTeachers, and tag us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
