It can take bravery to ask a question, even on a website full of people who want to be helpful. We are working to encourage that bravery by ensuring that every question gets at least one timely and thoughtful response. Want to lend a hand?
Join our growing group of Rapid Responders, teachers who have volunteered to help us make sure that every question gets an answer. Just fill out this form to sign up and we will start emailing you twice a week to alert you to new questions. We know things in the life of a teacher are always busy, so you will never be under any obligation to respond. Together, we’re going to ensure that every teacher gets quick and helpful answers—and that teaching is never again a solo activity.
In July, TeachersConnect (TC) started recognizing the top six “Terrifically Trendy Teachers” (those who submitted the most engaging posts of the month) with a modest “recognition” gift card. We provide this recognition for the positive impact these posts have on the entire TC community. Engaging posts like these are the lifeblood of TeachersConnect and are critical to the health and success of the community. The gift card is a symbol of our appreciation of your contributions. You’re making a direct and enduring impact on the skill, confidence, and joy of TC teachers throughout the world.
We are awarding the recognition gift card to the top 6 trending posts as follows:
– $50 each to the top 2 teachers
– $25 each to the next 4 teachers
