American Education Week

Online Toolkit

American Education Week—November 16–22, 2008—presents all Americans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. The weeklong celebration features a special observance each day of the week. They include:

  • Monday, November 17: Open House Day 
  • Tuesday, November 18: Parents Day
  • Wednesday, November 19: Education Support Professionals Day
  • Thursday, November 20: Educator for a Day
  • Friday, November 21: Substitute Educators Day

To help you plan these celebration days, we have developed this online toolkit with background information, activity ideas, and tips for working with the media, as well as downloadable resources, templates, and promotional materials.

We hope you will join in our American Education Week efforts by using this online toolkit to create unforgettable events and activities that will highlight the importance of bringing together everyone in the community—educators, parents, students, and public figures—in an effort to build great public schools. Together, we can make a difference.
