Educators, here’s something special from Barnes & Noble for you and your classroom. 

 

The nations largest bookseller announced that it will show appreciation to educators during Educator Appreciation Days, January 11 – 19, 2014.  Over 700 of their stores will participate in the celebration by hosting informative events customized for local educators on digital education. In addition, educators will be treated to a 25% store wide discount on classroom related and personal purchases plus more.

 

Here’s a full list of goodies educators can expect to receive:

 

  • 25% discount on personal and classroom purchases (also applies to CDs, DVDs and electronics)
  • A chance to win either a NOOK Tablet® or a $500 Barnes & Noble gift card (one educator per region)
  • Other discounts on products marked down for post-holiday clearance

 

Special events will be customized based on the needs of educators in their local communities. Librarians are also invited.  Some of the classes will focus on key products and topics affecting educators. For instance, there will be grant-writing workshops, as well as, an “appy hour” which will highlight Common Core and test prep books.

 

“Educators were so excited about the first-ever 25% discount on music, movies and electronics items at our December Educator Holiday Shopping Event that we decided to offer this special discount again at January Educator Appreciation Days,” said Sarah DiFrancesco, Vice President of Business Development for Barnes & Noble. “The discount applies to classroom and personal purchases, so we know a lot of teachers appreciated being able to purchase movies, headphones and music to augment classroom learning — and also find something fun for themselves.” (Businesswire)

Even students will have an opportunity to join in on the fun! Barnes & Nobles will kick-off their 2014 My Favorite Teacher Contest during the January events. Middle and high school students will be able to submit essays, poems, or letters expressing how much they appreciate their teacher(s). Each winner will be recognized at a follow-up event held in the spring. Then, local winners will be entered into a regional contest, where five winners receive a NOOK® and a $500 Barnes & Noble gift card.  The bookseller will also name their National Teacher of the Year, in which that person will receive $5,000 plus an extra $5,000 donation made to their school.
