In observance of National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3-7, 2021 – San Diego Unified will be holding a special virtual celebration honoring the district’s Teachers of the Year, on National Day of the Teacher May 4, 2021. The theme for San Diego Unified’s Teacher of the Year celebration is ‘Teachers: Leading in crisis, fostering resiliency and building a Better San Diego’. As the Covid-19 pandemic affected the education process, it created challenges for teachers everywhere. It created a need to revisit the method of giving education. This theme reminds us that our Teachers have had a significant role in the resiliency of our students and our education system. Teachers are essential to ensuring we emerge from the pandemic stronger with the promise of a better tomorrow.
