Creating an inclusive classroom environment is required of all teachers, but continues to be a multifaceted challenge, especially for new teachers. As educators strive to accommodate diverse learning needs, the journey often calls for innovative researched-based strategies, empathetic approaches, and collaborative efforts.

Teacher Appreciation Week is a beloved week for us at Rutgers Alternate Route, as we love celebrating our candidates past and present, as well as our trusted partners.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-10, 2024), many businesses are celebrating educators by offering exclusive discounts. Teachers can redeem coupons for school supplies, insurance and auto repair deals, clothing discounts, and more.
Below, we’ve rounded up the deals educators can take advantage of during Teacher Appreciation Week and year-round.

To support educators’ mental health, we’ve gathered some tips, practices and habits to implement at home so they can enter the classroom with more calm.

Years ago, neurological conditions like autism and ADHD came with dangerous stereotypes, including an inability to emote, singular obsessions and aggressive behavior, for example. The truth is that autism looks different in every person, which is why the term ‘neurodiversity’ is often used. To best support our educators and their neurodiverse students, we’ve outlined autism facts, myths and resources to utilize and share.

There’s a lot of love going around this week, with Valentine’s Day and Love Teaching Week coinciding. To show educators how much Rutgers Alternate Route appreciates them, we’ve scoured the internet for discounts and deals that are specific to teachers.
