Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week is the perfect time to celebrate the wonderful work teacher aides do in schools. Whether it’s a thank-you note, a small gift or a morning tea, the week-long celebration gives schools plenty of time to acknowledge, appreciate and recognise the positive impact teacher aides have on the lives of students, teachers and families.

This year, we are doing something super special again! We are opening our Professional Development library to all teacher aides during Appreciation Week. If you would like to enjoy unlimited professional learning for one whole week, simply create a free subscriber account (if you don’t already have one!) and you will be able to access a new set of resources each day from Monday 2 September to Friday 6 September. 

The team at Australian Teacher Aide has put together some great Appreciation Week resources (see below) to support you in your celebrations throughout the week. Here are some ideas for celebrating:

  • Create certificates of appreciation and award them to your teacher aides at school assembly
  • Feature teacher aide success stories in your school newsletter
  • Display a photo collage of your teacher aide team and add a space for 'thank you' notes
  • Invite your teacher aides to a special morning tea, lunch or after school party
  • Write a note of appreciation to your teacher aides; invite students to do this too!

Make sure you use our Appreciation Week Poster to promote the event to your colleagues in the weeks prior.
