Tuesday of the first full week of May, will be National Teachers' Day every year, a time for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives. The actual date varies from year to year. That whole week is designated Teacher Appreciation Week by the National PTA. It's a time to strengthen support and respect for teachers and the teaching profession. The history of Teacher Day goes back to 1944.
5月份第一个满周的星期二，是国家的教师节，一个向广大教师们致敬和表达谢意的日子。每一年教师节的日期都是不同。教师节所在的那一个星期被家庭教师协会指定为教师感恩周，是一个对教师、对教学职业更加支持和尊重的时期。教师节的历史要追溯到1944年。
The origins of National Teacher Day are a bit murky, but it's known that an Arkansas teacher, Mrs. Mattye Whyte Woodridge, began corresponding with political and education leaders as early as 1944 about the need for a national day honoring teachers. One of the leaders she wrote to was Eleanor Roosevelt, who persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day in 1953.
教师节的起源说起来有点凄惨，阿肯色州教师Mrs. Mattye Whyte Woodridge从1944年起就开始游说当时国家的行政官员和教育官员建立一个教师节来向教师致敬和表达谢意，直到1953年，收到过她的信的一位名叫Eleanor Roosevelt的官员才说服第81届议会的议员们同意建立一个全国性的教师节。
In the late 1970s, the National Education Association(NEA), its Indiana and Kansas state affiliates, and its local affiliate in Dodge City, Kansas, all lobbied Congress on behalf of creation of a national day celebrating teachers. Congress declared March 7, 1980 as National Teacher Day for that year only.
在七十年代末，联邦教育协会（NEA），它的印地安州和堪萨斯州会员，Dodge城的居民们，都去游说议会的会员建立一个赞美教师的节日，议会最后只确定了1980年的教师节是该年的3月7日。
NEA and its affiliates continued to observe Teacher Day on the first Tuesday in March until 1985, when NEA and the National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week as the first full week of May. The NEA Representative Assembly then voted to make the Tuesday of that week National Teacher Day.
联邦教育协会（NEA）和它的会员一直到1985年都坚持在3月份的第一个星期二作为国家的教师节。直到联邦教育协会（NEA）和联邦家庭教师协会（NPTA）确定3月份的第一个完整周为教师感恩周，联邦教育协会（NEA）也最后敲定该周的星期二为国家教师节
