It doesn’t matter if you’re a Speech Language Pathologist, a teacher, or a librarian, chances are if you work in a school, you’re spending your own money on your students or your classroom . If you’re anything like me (and most other teacher I know), this means you’re hitting up Target, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Lakeshore Learning, Amazon, and tons of other stores on the regular to #buyallthings! This probably also includes super cute things that you already have 200 of but that you just can’t seem to pass up.
Teachers are notorious for spending their own hard-earned money on things for their classrooms, and this is just one of the ten thousand reasons why teachers are amazing! Thanks to regular budget cuts, many teachers no longer get money for classroom supplies, and this means teachers find a way to supply their students with what they need anyway.
Luckily, many retailers recognize how special teachers are, and they offer teacher discounts to help!
Below is a list I compiled for fifteen amazing discounts for educators. This is nowhere close to a complete list, so if you have other suggestions, please comment below!
