Mothers are often the first teachers we have in life, and I know I am grateful for the lessons my mother taught me.
Happy Mother’s Day.

My advice to students when making a decision for college is the same advice I’d give my own kids – If you file FAFSA today, within 1-3 days, colleges are getting your processed FAFSA.
So take the time you need to make the best decision. You're worth it.

Melissa received $74,000 in public service loan forgiveness on her student loans.
PSLF is how we appreciate teachers.

When it comes to appreciating teachers, a lot of people talk the talk, but don’t deliver.

Our administration delivered. We made the largest investment in public education in history, helping hire more teachers, pay them more, and provide them with the support they deserve.

Teacher appreciation is about more than leaving a card on a teacher's desk, it's about showing consistent respect for the profession, ensuring that teachers have a seat at the table, and paying them a livable wage.
That’s what we are doing in the Biden-Harris Administration.

Today, Secretary Miguel Cardona announced the 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholars, recognizing 161 high school seniors for their accomplishments in academics, the arts, and career and technical education fields.

We know students are more likely to access mental health support if it’s offered in schools. By nearly doubling funds this year for school-based mental health professionals, we are centering student and teacher wellbeing.

In college, I was lucky to have teachers who showed me the value of a quality education - and who pushed me to excel. This Teacher Appreciation Week, I'm sending thanks to the educators who go above and beyond for their students. Their efforts are truly life changing.

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek ! We're honored to take part in the celebration our nation’s educators and all they do for students everywhere. Teaching is the profession that inspires all other professions, and deserves respect, understanding & gratitude. U.S. Department of Education Eddie Koen 📢❤️

All of us have a teacher to thank for fulfilling our full potential.
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek from my friends Secretary Xavier Becerra and Secretary Deb Haaland in the Biden-Harris Administration!

Music teachers rock!  🎶
Thank you CMA Foundation for honoring our country’s music teachers.

This week, I had the honor of having conversations with Latino leaders from across the country at the The White House. We won’t rest until we have Latino voices in every room. Pa’lante siempre!

Public service is a calling. It always has been for me, and for my family. And I know it is for many of you, too.
To all of the public service workers across the Nation, thank you for all that you do.

Educators give their all every day in the classroom & their sacrifices haven’t gone unnoticed by the Biden-Harris Admin. Through #PSLF , we have forgiven over $62.8 billion dollars in student loans for 876,000 public servants, including teachers. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Happy #TeacherAppreciationDay to the countless educators working to support our students each day. @USEdGov Secretary Miguel Cardona couldn't have said it any better. #ThankYouTeachers

Mrs. Ransom is the reason that I became an educator. She saw in me the potential that I hadn’t yet seen in myself.
Thank you to the teachers in classrooms across the country who see the potential in their students that they don’t yet see in themselves. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

What’s the best way to appreciate teachers?

We went right to the source and asked some of @ccsso’s 2024 State Teachers of the Year.

This Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jews who were killed by the Nazis during one of the darkest chapters in human history.

And we recommit to heeding the lessons of the Shoah and realizing the responsibility of “Never Again.”

Teachers shape the future by shaping lives.

Will you answer the call from ED, @teachorg, & One Million Teachers of Color to start your journey toward becoming a teacher?
