Discounts for teachers are sought after for good reason. Teaching is a tough, important, and often thankless job. And with so many out-of-pocket costs for supplies and resources, even small savings can feel crucial. We’ve rounded up a list of exclusive discounts that educators can snag with their teacher credentials—so you can spend a little less time stressing out over full-price dry-erase markers and a little more time stressing about the kid who learned to swear over the summer. We thank you for your service.

Are you a parent or a student? You can usually score on discounts with a valid .edu email address as well. We’ve got a handy list of student dealsplus some roundups of Back to School Deals and Back to School Laptop Deals.
