Gifts for Consultant Teachers

Picking a gift for a consultant teacher

A consultant teacher is a special education teacher who works with students who have disabilities, usually in general education classrooms, and often with the classroom teachers themselves. That mix of direct work with kids and coaching adults means a lot of their day is spent moving between rooms, carrying a bag of materials, and fielding questions in the hallway. Gifts that fit that routine tend to land: a comfortable tee for a long day of co-teaching, a hoodie for cold classrooms and early IEP meetings, or a mug that keeps the coffee hot through a schedule that rarely lets them finish it. Put consultant teacher on the shirt and add their school, district or subject on the second line so it reads as theirs. Many consultant teachers also hold a credential they worked hard for, so if they hold a certification, you can add that as a second line too. If you're buying for a whole special education team, the Team Shop lets you order one design with each person's name on their own shirt.
