Get Inspired By These Classroom Ideas We Found On Instagram
It sounds hyperbolic, but it’s true: Teachers amaze us every single day. From the experienced and beginning teachers we’ve enrolled in our Master’s programs in Education & Special Education, to teachers around our nation who willingly share their brilliant ideas on social media for the benefit of their peers—they’re all just incredible.
Especially during a pandemic that no one saw coming.
If you’re a teacher or aspire to be one, our hearts go out to you for doing what you can to make all things Covid-19 a little less scary for your younger students and prioritizing their health and safety.
