National Teacher Day HistoryNational Teacher Day is dedicated to celebrating the significant role of educators and expressing appreciation for their invaluable contributions to society. This annual initiative emphasizes the importance of teachers by spotlighting their efforts in shaping minds, fostering curiosity, and instilling a lust for knowledge among millions of students. The origin of National Teacher Day can be traced back to 1944 when an Arkansas teacher named Mattye Whyte Woodridge began a campaign to establish a national day to honor teachers. Her efforts caught the attention of Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1953 persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day. Since then, the day continues to be observed with schools and communities organizing various events and activities to celebrate the work of educators including award ceremonies, special lunches, and community gatherings. The day is a significant part of Teacher Appreciation Week, which takes place in the first full week of May each year. On this day, teachers across the nation are recognized for their commitment and patient endurance in molding the future contributors of society. National Teacher Day is celebrated on the Tuesday of the first full week of May. Facts & quotes about National Teacher Day
