🍎 Back-to-School Savings + Two New Courses!🍎
I have to admit—this is my favorite time of year. Forget January 1! In our house of two teachers, and as someone raised by a teacher, back-to-school season has always felt like the real fresh start. New supplies, new ideas, and a whole year of possibilities are just around the corner.
Before the alarm clocks, packed schedules, meetings, and lesson planning officially take over, we wanted to share a few ways teachers can save, feel inspired, and get a head start on professional learning. There is still plenty of time to complete graduate hours before those late-August, September, and October pay-scale deadlines!
Back-to-School Discounts for Teachers
Save 20% at Target Verified teachers can receive 20% off one qualifying Target purchase through September 12. Stock up on classroom supplies, organization essentials, décor, snacks, and maybe a little something for yourself!
Save with Apple Education Pricing Teachers and educators can access special education pricing on eligible Apple products. For a limited time, qualifying Mac and iPad purchases may also include an Apple Gift Card—perfect for upgrading your classroom or personal technology.
Be sure to review each retailer’s eligibility requirements, exclusions, and promotional terms before purchasing.
Two New Courses - Hot Off the Presses for Summer 2026
We are also excited to introduce two new Connected Classroom Courses designed to help educators begin the school year with stronger teams, healthier habits, and a renewed sense of purpose.
You Win in the Locker Room First Based on the book by Jon Gordon and Mike Smith, this course explores the seven essential “C’s” of building a successful team and positive culture. Educators and coaches will discover practical strategies for strengthening communication, commitment, connection, consistency, and leadership within their classrooms, schools, teams, and organizations.
Positive Mindset Habits for Teachers Teaching can be incredibly rewarding—but it can also be exhausting. This course helps educators develop realistic, sustainable habits that support a more positive mindset, reduce stress, strengthen resilience, and bring greater purpose and energy to their work.
Like all Connected Classroom Courses, these new options are:
• Fully online and 100% self-paced
FAST Electronic Transcripts • Designed specifically for busy educators • Created and facilitated by experienced teachers • Available for professional development or graduate credit (HLC accredited)
Whether you are looking for practical ideas for your classroom, license-renewal hours, graduate credit, or an opportunity to move on the pay scale, Connected Classroom Courses is here to support your professional learning.
