Today is National Teacher’s Appreciation Day!
It is a special day to recognize the tireless work of educators. Teachers are the heart and soul of any school system, and they make invaluable contributions to society by inspiring current and future generations of learners to reach their full potential.
Some of these positive impacts, include helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally through being mentors, role models, and often a source of comfort. Each day, teachers strive to ensure every student has the tools and resources they need to succeed.
Spotlighting Jean Steffens

A perfect example of an amazing educator is special education teacher Jean Steffens. Jean has been a special education teacher for over 15 years, but after retiring in 2022, she realized she still had a passion for teaching and contributing to the needs of special education students. Maxim Staffing helped Jean find the perfect contract opportunity, allowing her to continue doing what she loves
“Jean finds genuine joy by working through her caseload, lesson planning, progress monitoring, and conducting IEP research. She is patient with students, and cares about being there for them,” says Maxim Staffing Educational Services Recruiter Sydney Tucker. “I am honored to have Jean as a caregiver of mine, and I am inspired by her passion! Thank you, Jean, for having such a big heart and serving our students so well.”
Jean is just one of the many educators working with Maxim Staffing, and we want to make sure to highlight all of the amazing work they do on a daily basis. We appreciate them not just this week, but always, and cannot thank them enough for all they do for the future generations of society.
