American Education Week 2024
American Education Week (AEW) annually celebrates the achievements of public schools in America and honors the work of people making a difference in education. This year, the festivities will take place Nov. 18-22.
Each day of the week has its own theme, during which we celebrate our public school community.
Festivities honor the team of people who work in our public schools, everyone from bus drivers and classroom teachers to cafeteria workers and administrative staff, plus countless others. Schools and communities are invited to celebrate and thank school staff in fun ways throughout the week.
- Monday: Kick-off Day
Celebrate the start of the week by familiarizing students with the theme, activities, and purpose of the event. - Tuesday: Family Day
Celebrate by inviting parents to actively experience how a school day goes for their students. - Wednesday: Education Support Professionals Day
Education Support Professionals Day is a day to celebrate a school’s support staff. - Thursday: Educator for a Day
Celebrate by inviting community leaders to work as an employee in the school, performing all the duties of a teacher for a full day. - Friday: Substitute Educators Day
Friday celebrates people who are there to help educators when there is a sudden emergency or temporary leave.
