Encourage and inspire teachers this year with these free printable bible verses for teachers. In a year that has brought an unexpected turn each month, anxiety and stress are high for parents, teachers, students, and administrators. Sharing these scripture cards is a great way to show teachers appreciation as they enter a year of teaching that will be unlike any other!
During quarantine, most parents have struggled through unexpected online learning, virtual teaching, or homeschool. Either way parents have a new understanding of the reality that teaching is a tough job and for a lot of parents there is a whole new level of teacher appreciation.
While my teacher friends are so happy to have the chance to love on kids again, even though it definitely won’t be normal. And my mom friends are so grateful to have awesome teachers who will teach their kids. There’s really no better way to start a school year during a pandemic than with scripture that will encourage teachers as they face so many unknowns.

How to Use Printable Scripture Cards for Teachers
I’ve made these printable cards so that you can click, print, and encourage teachers easily!
Most teachers use a weekly planner, so I have included 36 bible verse cards that will cover (4) 9-week grading periods. The printable free scripture verses are designed to be placed in a teachers planner with a paperclip or stapled to the page, so that they can see the scripture card each day.
Of course, teachers can use them how ever they choose!
My hope is that these free scripture cards will encourage and inspire teachers each week throughout the school year.
