Free Money Resources for Teachers

Free Money Resources for Teachers

It’s a tradition in teaching to reach into your own pocket to cover classroom supplies and those fun ‘extras’ that make learning memorable. Educational grants can help. From pencils to white boards to field trips, these grants can offset your expenses and, in some cases, boost your school’s budget.

Unlike other types of funding, grants do not have to be repaid. Most grants require an application, and a report on how the money was spent. Some can be competitive. If you meet the criteria and the deadline, however, you’re on your way to earning free money.

We did a deep dive to discover some of the best and most innovative grants for educators, both on the national and state levels. Here’s what we found.

The Best Gifts for Teachers

The Best Gifts for Teachers

Ask any teacher. They love getting gifts, but there’s a limit to the number of coffee mugs and candles that any one person can enjoy. We’ve asked teachers what they really want, and they’ve answered. Here’s the definitive guide on the best gifts for teachers this holiday season.

Fun Classroom Supplies

Most teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies, so these are sure to be a big hit. Consider putting together a gift basket with a few items. Package them in a plastic container like a shower caddy that also may be used for organizing supplies for a practical twist.

Dowling Magnet Adhesive Tape

This tape turns anything into a magnet. It’s an easy way to hang up posters, decor, and more.

Fancy Pens or Expo Markers

We love these pens for their inspirational sayings and vibrant colors. But any set of quality pens for grading and notes will work. Don’t forget the Expo markers, too.

Post-Its

Post-it notes come in so many fun shapes and sizes. Not only are they useful for teachers’ organization, but they are also ideal for students sharing ideas in large group activities.

Label Maker

Help your child’s teacher stay organized with this handheld label maker.

Personalized Stationery

Personalized notes, including those that depict the subject area that teachers teach, can be fun. You can find personalized stamps and stickers, too.

Self-Care Items

Here’s how you can provide thoughtful gifts that promote self-care in the classroom and beyond. These useful items can make a teacher’s life much easier. For higher ticket items, consider going in with a group of parents or the class.

Rechargeable Hand Warmers

These will be much appreciated on those cold days for recess duty.

Electric Kettle

Your favorite teacher can enjoy a hot cup of tea in the classroom anytime with this cordless kettle.

Comfy Seat Cushion

Elevate the teacher’s chair with this ultra-comfortable cushion.

Food & Snacks

Chocolate, baked goods, and gift baskets of food and snacks are always appreciated. Just be aware of any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Gift Cards

Choose gift cards for the places that teachers shop, such as Target, Amazon Prime, Michaels, or Teachers Pay Teachers. During a busy holiday season, teachers would also appreciate gift cards from Door Dash, Starbucks, Dunkin, grocery stores, gas stations, and local restaurants.

Other Ideas

AirTags or Tile Trackers

These Bluetooth trackers help find lost items. AirTags only work with iPhones but Tile Trackers work with both Apple and Android products.

Personalized Keychains and Lanyards

These fun lanyards add some pizzazz to an everyday badge. Find one with your teacher’s subject area or interest.

 Personal Notes of Thanks

Handwritten notes by students cost nothing but mean so much. They are among a teacher’s favorite gifts.

What to Avoid

In searching for the perfect gift, you will want to stay away from the following.

  • Avoid alcohol unless you know the teacher enjoys wine, beer, or spirits.
  • Let the teacher choose his/her own beauty products from hand creams to perfume/cologne, jewelry, and makeup. These are highly personal choices.
  • Stay away from apple motif items and desk display items that are essentially “dust collectors.” Chances are your child’s teacher already has more than they need.
  • Teachers also get a fair number of mugs, candles, and ornaments. They probably don’t need any more.

Do you have other great ideas for teacher gifts? Share them in the comments. See our blog on teacher stocking stuffers and how to thank a teacher for some more great ideas.

Beating the Winter Blues: Seasonal Affective Disorder

Beating the Winter Blues: Seasonal Affective Disorder

If the winter months get you down, you’re not alone. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects millions of people, and it’s more than just the winter blues. It can affect your mental and physical health.

Here’s what you need to know about SAD, including how to recognize signs and symptoms, some available treatments, and how to help those around you if you think they suffer from this condition.

What is SAD?

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression. It is more than feeling sad or unhappy, and it is not a condition that can be wished away. Symptoms start in the late fall and continue into the winter months. They are most severe during December, January, and February. Generally, SAD resolves itself during the light-filled days of spring. (There also is a form of summer SAD, thought to be caused by the heat, humidity, and allergies. Summer SAD is much less common.) SAD usually starts in adulthood. It is rare among people who are under age 20. It is more common among women than men.

What causes SAD?

The exact cause is not known, but it is thought that SAD is linked to reduced exposure to sunlight. Light stimulates the hormone, serotonin, in our brain which makes us feel happy. Increased darkness on the other hand prompts the brain to make more melatonin, causing sleepiness and reduced energy.

What are the signs of SAD?

SAD can affect how you feel, think, and behave. The symptoms are persistent and can be severe. While not every person experiences all the symptoms, here are some common ones for winter SAD.

  • Losing interest in activities: If the activities that usually interest you lose their appeal, that’s a symptom of a low mood or depression.
  • Low energy and sluggishness: You may find it difficult to muster the energy to do the most basic tasks. You might experience extreme fatigue.
  • Sleeping too much: You find yourself sleeping more than usual, and you have difficulty waking up. You may experience daytime drowsiness.
  • Appetite changes: You crave the mood and energy boosting comfort of carbs. However, overloading on carbs can lead to weight gain.
  • Difficulty concentrating: You may be unable to focus and have trouble thinking clearly.
  • Negative thinking: You may feel hopeless, worthless, or even suicidal. You might be anxious and irritable.

What are options for treatment?

Without treatment, SAD can last months. However, most people who seek help can see improvement in a matter of weeks. The symptoms of SAD may look like other mental health conditions, so it’s important to get a diagnosis. A doctor or mental health professional can diagnose SAD and offer options for treatment. Treatments may include:

  • Light therapy: This involves sitting in front of a special light in a lightbox or panel for a specific amount of time each day.
  • Sunlight exposure: Spending more time outside during daylight hours can help. Consider a daily walk or outdoor exercise.
  • Psychotherapy: Talk therapy can help you to understand SAD and manage its symptoms from anxiety to depression.
  • Medications: ln some cases, antidepressants may be prescribed to correct the chemical imbalance caused by SAD.

Here are some ways to help prevent SAD.

You can take steps to prepare for winter SAD, which may help to reduce its effects.

  • It may be tempting to go into hibernation mode when it starts to become dark early. However, that can perpetuate the feelings of depression. Instead, plan activities to stay social. This will help to boost your mood.
  • Exercise regularly. If you can exercise in the sunlight, that’s a double boost.
  • Eat a healthy balanced diet. If you’re tempted by carbs for a quick energy boost, go for complex carbohydrates instead. For example, choose whole grain breads and fruits over sweets and chips.
  • Maintain a consistent sleep routine. Avoid excessive amounts of caffeine and alcohol, especially before bed.

Finally, seek professional help if your symptoms persist. SAD is treatable, and fortunately, does not last forever.

Incorporating AI in the Classroom

Incorporating AI in the Classroom

You could use an assistant—someone to help with lesson planning and grading, someone to work one-on-one with students who need extra help, and someone who can help lighten the load of your never-ending to-do list. Meet AI, a.k.a. artificial intelligence, the latest trend in classroom support.

 

What is AI and how can it help?

AI refers to software that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This includes learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI can help engage students, create interactive learning experiences, and foster critical thinking skills. It can offer personalized learning geared to student interests and ability, presenting tasks of increasing difficulty with real-time feedback.

 

A word about AI concerns

AI is not without its concerns. Educators worry about plagiarism and cheating, where AI does the work instead of the student. There are also times that AI is inaccurate because its source is the Internet. That requires teachers to do some due diligence in identifying appropriate tools and discussing expectations and ethical considerations with their students.

How do you help students understand the proper use of AI? Teach a lesson on ethical considerations and appropriate use of AI. For example, it is not okay to use AI to write your essays or do your work. However, it is acceptable to use AI to:

  • Check your finished paper for grammatical errors.
  • Brainstorm ideas for an assignment or a project.
  • Simplify complicated text so that you understand its meaning.
  • Research a topic as long as you are also planning to fact-check the results.

As an educator, you can help manage the use of AI and address potential misuse.

  • Try out the AI platforms before you use them in the classroom, so you fully understand them.
  • Model the AI tool in class for appropriate and inappropriate use.
  • Get to know your students’ writing so you know their style and voice and can detect when they may be leaning on AI too heavily.
  • Ask students to personalize their writing with their own experiences. This is something AI is unable to do.
  • Use formative assessments to evaluate student progress.

While you may use AI in preparation for instruction, student use generally starts in the upper elementary or middle school years. ChatGPT, for example, recommends age 13 years and up for its program.

 

AI for Teachers and Students

There is value in AI and teachers appreciate this time-saving tool. Here is a look at some popular AI tools for the classroom. Many of these are paid versions but there are free options, too.

Grading & Assessment

Classpoint AI can create quizzes from PowerPoint slides based on Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Essay Grader can grade an essay against a rubric of your choice in about 30 seconds. It also can detect if an essay was written by AI.

Formative AI automates the grading process and provides insight into student performance. It also generates assessments, including multiple choice, open-ended, and more.

Gradescope offers rubric-based assessments for paper-based and digital student work.

Socrative generates interactive activities from polls to mini-competitions and exit tickets.

Instruction

DitchThatTextbook provides ideas for lesson plans that go beyond the textbook.

Education CoPilot offers lesson plan templates, writing prompts, and handouts based on grade level and curriculum standards.

Nearpod offers interactive and engaging lessons, learning through gamification, differentiation, and formative assessments.

Parlay Genie provides discussion-prompts and higher order questions about a custom topic.

Teachmateai is a digital assistant with a wide variety of resources from report writing to class behavior and management to lesson planning and more.

Differentiation

ChatGPT can generate a passage about a topic at a certain grade level. Use it to create leveled readers for students. (Try Bing Chat as an alternative to ChatGPT; it often cites where it gets information whereas ChatGPT does not.)

Diffit helps you adapt materials to different reading levels, adjust for students with IEPs, and accelerate for advanced learners.

 

Subject-Specific

Hello History allows students to have lifelike conversations with historical figures.

PhotoMath offers step-by-step solutions for arithmetic, algebra, and calculus, including alternate ways of solving equations.

Soundraw enables students to compose music by genre and speed.

Slides & Videos

Bing Image Creator allows you to produce images from a text description.

Canva Magic Write and Magic Design can create templates for classroom presentations.

SlidesAI produces professional and engaging Google slides from your text.

VideoAnt allows you to annotate a publicly available video with comments and questions for students.

Homework Help

Brainly is the place where students can ask academic questions and get real-time help with homework.

Homeworkai is an app that offers homework help, including simple explanations.

Oddityai provides answers to homework. Students need only upload a picture of the worksheet.

Do you have a favorite AI tool that’s not on this list? Please share it in the comments.
