American Education Week
Come together as a district and community to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education.
Maximizing Moments
Post Suggestions
Spotlight Student Achievements
Throughout the week, dedicate posts to celebrating student achievements in academics, arts, athletics, and extracurricular activities. Use images, videos, and quotes from students to make these posts personal and impactful. Encourage students to share what they love most about their school and learning experiences.
Educator Shoutouts
Create a series of posts highlighting exceptional educators across the district. Invite teachers to share their teaching philosophies, memorable classroom moments, or what inspires them. Parents and students can also participate by posting their own shoutouts to teachers who have made a difference in their lives, using a district-specific hashtag like #ThankATeacherSD.
Interactive Social Media Campaigns
Engage your community with interactive elements such as polls, quizzes, and challenges. For example, you could run a daily trivia quiz about your district’s history, notable alumni, or interesting facts about the education system. Encourage followers to participate by offering small incentives like school merchandise or recognition on the district’s social media pages.
Community Partnerships and Collaborations
Collaborate with local businesses, media, and community organizations to amplify your AEW messages. Partner with local media to feature special stories about the district’s impact, or work with businesses to offer discounts or promotions to students and staff during AEW. Highlight these partnerships on social media to show the community’s support for public education.
