Shine a Spotlight on Great Teaching

First things first: THANK YOU for your leadership and commitment to celebrating student-centered instruction in your schools! We know that great teaching takes time, effort, and heart, and that’s why we’ve created these Staff Spotlight Templates—so you can effortlessly recognize and champion the incredible educators who bring EMC² Learning resources to life.

These punchy, professional, and pre-formatted templates do all the heavy lifting for you. Just snap a quick photo of great teaching in action, swap in a few sentences, and you’ve got a clean, visually engaging highlight ready to share. They’re designed to be versatile, customizable, and ridiculously easy to use, so you can focus on celebrating your teachers—not on designing from scratch.

There are countless ways to integrate these templates into your school culture. Here are a few ideas:

  • A Weekly Teacher Feature – Dedicate a section of your staff newsletter or school website to showcasing an educator who’s making great use of an EMC² Learning resource.
  • A Bulletin Board Outside the Main Office – Print and display Staff Spotlights so parents, students, and colleagues can see great teaching in action.
  • QR Code Showcases – Link a Staff Spotlight to a video of the teacher in action! Embed a QR code so staff can scan and watch the resource being used in real time.
  • “Potluck PD” Sessions – Host an informal PD where teachers share their greatest hits using EMC² Learning resources. Let Staff Spotlights serve as conversation starters for collaboration and idea-sharing.

Make it Your Own

Want to personalize these templates to fit your school’s brand? Swap in school colors, mascots, or logos to make them uniquely yours! These small touches add school spirit and makes the recognition feel even more meaningful. And teacher who feel appreciated are infinitely more likely to pass that same feeling of purpose on to the students in their classrooms.

Your teachers are doing amazing work, and these templates make it easier than ever to recognize, inspire, and energize your staff. EMC² Learning is here to support you every step of the way—so let’s start shining a spotlight on the incredible educators in your building!
