Courses provide teachers with recognition for the skills they develop throughout their careers. To help you motivate and encourage your educators to engage in courses, we’ve put together a list of ways you can celebrate their accomplishments. Make your educators feel special while giving them the recognition they deserve! Especially when they complete their degree!
Social Media Shout-Outs. For every educator who has completed and earned a course or degree, be sure to congratulate them via your school or district’s social media accounts.
Newsletter Feature. Does your school or district have a monthly newsletter? Consider featuring educators who have earned their courses or degree in the newsletter for organization-wide
recognition. In addition, to provide recognition for these educators, it’s a great way to get other
educators excited about engaging in coursework.
Leadership / Board Meetings. Make educators feel extra special and appreciated by recognizing them during regularly scheduled leadership meetings. For an extra boost of recognition, have your Superintendent recognize these educators at the next School Board meeting.
Free Pass. Allow any educators who are engaging in courses a free pass from attending a face-to-face professional development session typically required by the district or school.
School Swag. Everybody loves free swag. Offer educators a piece of school clothing, a water bottle, or other swag of their choice for each unit or course they complete.
Signature Line. Encourage educators to showcase their accomplishments with colleagues, peers, parents, and others by adding their unit badge to their email signature line.
Monetary Incentives. Consider offering educators a gift card, stipend, or salary increase for
completed courses.
