National Teacher Appreciation Week (TAW) is May 6 through May 10, and National Teacher Day is May 7. During TAW, the National Education Association commits to “joining together to listen to and stand with teachers and uniting to take action and demand our leaders provide the resources and respect educators deserve.” Mercer University Libraries is proud to celebrate teachers and all of their hard work, especially current and future teachers in the College of Education. Check out the list of films, books, and web resources about teachers and the education system. For more information about Teacher Appreciation Week, visit https://www.nea.org/TAW.
