Teachers will always appreciate little performances of their students, like ballet or hip-hop performances, drama or stand-up comedy. In our school there was even every end of the week, on Friday, the possibility to do an act. Boys used to playback on music of the Backstreet boys, girls used to dance on the music of the Spice Girls.
But times have changed, so why should boys and girls not cooperate and do a performance together. Some alternatives are: a play with an educative touch (I always like it if there is a message behind the play). Think about the difference in position of the men and women today, criminality, racism, poverty, problems at home (e.g. domestic violence), but also positive messages: the teacher is the best! Of course teachers always like positive endings ;-)
Furthermore dance performances, and again, of course the boys and girls act together. Personally I like stand-up comedy a lot. Use jokes about different cultures or languages (no racism!), about funny encounters with people in the street or when going out. Be creative and brainstorm together, then, you can always find something to agree on! |

What about making a song dedicated to your teacher? Of course not everyone knows how to play music, but there’s also the possibility of making new lyrics for a song that already exists. To make everybody sing along, it might be a good idea to hand out a printed version of the lyrics. (You might as well make big posters with the lyrics on them, they could serve as decoration for the classroom later on.) Make sure you choose a well-known song, so that everybody knows more or less how it goes. |

It is a tradition at our elementary school to host a luncheon for all the staff members of our school. Parents volunteer to cover the classrooms, office and make food. For one hour, once a year the teachers all get to eat together and visit. |

It’s so nice to see the idea of teacher appreciation catching on! I left high school 11 years ago now but still remember our leaving gesture vividly – and I think our teacher remembers it even more so; it really did change her life! She was a biology teacher with an abundance of enthusiasm for all things new, always doing some type of course and forever telling us stories in class. On our graduation, we thought she deserved something special. She was due to be holidaying in Spain and with her great passion for learning, we thought she’d like to know a little of the language - the idea of a set of language tapes for her seemed perfect! 5 years later at a re-union, we met up again. It turned out she’d left the school to do "cursos enfermeria auxiliar distancia" and was now based in Salamanca, ready to be a nurse! |
