 Free Stuff for Teachers can Benefit the School

Some companies offer free stuff for teachers that can be of benefit to a school. A teacher may involve her class in a reading or spelling competition that offers a computer to the winners. The teacher may be the one filling out the applications for the contest but the prizes are not really free stuff for teachers. Classes can strive to reap benefit for their schools but most teachers are not permitted to accept gratuities personally. Any prizes or offerings need to be approved by the school board with respect to already established guidelines. If the board thinks there can be no harm done and the school may benefit they may consider contests or sponsorship.

When a teacher buys supplies there may be included some free stuff for teachers that can be used along with the supplies. A calendar that is bought to cover the whole school year may come with free stick one memo holders or an erasable pen. A day timer may come in handy for a well organized teacher and the company may include some free give away stickers she can use in class. These are not large gifts and do not really represent a high dollar value. They are just small incentives for the teachers to buy a certain product. 

It may be that the only free stuff for teachers they can really count on is the rewards they will get from doing a good job. They will not get samples or free trials of products like people that work in other professions may get from sales men.
