Business Cards for Teachers
August 7th, 2008
Teaching is considered a profession, yet many of us go around lacking some a basic tools of a professional - business cards. If you’re lucky, your school district will provide them. However, it’s time for teachers to step up to the plate and really claim our professionalism and the simple gesture of being able to give a business card to parents is gratefully received. Make sure you order then early in the year so that you have them for Back-to-School Night.
I’ve had business cards printed every year I’ve been teaching in the US and the company I recommend is Vista Print. They are very reasonably priced and have over a hundred pre-set designs to choose from or you can create your own design.
A few caveats:
- Use a junk* email account because they will send you multiple offers afterwards.
- They offer two types of business cards: premium and free (the free ones have the Vista Print logo on the back).
- The way they make their money is by add ons. For example, you can get a special offer for 250 business cards for free but then you can get another 500 for a low rate or you can change the paper to glossy.
Business cards are such a great way to easily connect with parents and with students. It’s time for teachers to have business cards like any other professional.

we are now into the second generation of lowest common denominator education. The teachers are now products of the system and all too often simply too dumb to secure any other job. In addition, for the most part administrators and education politicos are in the business of power, influence, money, and prestige.
