End of Year Teacher Gifts for Every Educator
Teachers and educators give so much of themselves all year. Come November, most of them are running on empty and a well-intentioned bunch of flowers or box of chocolates will not fix that.
A book is different. The right book gets read on the couch over the holidays, gets underlined, gets talked about in the staffroom in Term 1. It tells a teacher you see the whole person, not just the job title.
Here are five of our favourites for gifting this year. Grab one for a favourite teacher, or put together a bundle for the whole staffroom.
1. Gratitude Practices for Teachers by Dr Kerry Howells and Dr Jo Lucas
A gentle, practical guide to navigating the everyday challenges of education through the lens of gratitude. Perfect for the teacher who gives everything to their students and needs a reminder to notice the good in their own work too.
2. The Flourishing Factor by Chris Egan
Unlocking the power of self-compassion for thriving educators. This one is for the teacher who is hardest on themselves. It offers a warm, evidence-based case for treating yourself with the same compassion you show your students.
3. The Connection series by Dr Matt Pitman
The Connection Curriculum and The Connection Commitment build a genuine, sustainable culture of connection across a whole school community. Ideal for school leaders and staff teams who want to strengthen relationships, not just tick a wellbeing box. These work brilliantly as a bundle for a leadership team or a whole staffroom.
4. Teach Parent Repeat by Emma Derainne
How to survive and thrive as a teacher parent. For the educator juggling their own classroom and their own kids at home, this book is equal parts honest, funny and reassuring. A gift that says "I know how hard you work, everywhere."
5. Behaviour Is Not the Whole Story by Kelly Oldfield
A practical guide to behaviour support across education and care. The book to hand to any teacher navigating challenging behaviour this year. Clear, compassionate and genuinely useful on Monday morning.
Gift one, or gift a bundle
Every book on this list was written by someone who has stood at the front of a classroom and knows exactly what teachers are carrying by the end of the year. Choose one that speaks to a particular teacher in your life, or put together a bundle for your whole staff as an end of year thank you they will actually use.
As a special thank you to all the teachers and educators, you can enjoy free shipping on all five titles (use code SHOP on your checkout). Grab one for a favourite teacher, or build a bundle for the whole staffroom.
