Guide for teachers
The favorite things questionnaire for teachers
A free, modern way to help parents thank their teacher. Fill in your favorites once, share a single link, and skip the paper questionnaire that lives in a folder no one can find.
Why parents love a teacher favorites list
Teacher Appreciation Week, birthdays, holidays, end of year — parents want to say thank you but often default to another mug or a generic gift card. A short favorite things questionnaire gives them the small, specific details that turn a nice gesture into a thoughtful one.
Be'an Nice hosts your list as a shareable profile at beannice.com/your-name. No printouts, no group chat scavenger hunt, and you can update it any time your coffee order changes.
What to include on your teacher favorites list
Keep it specific. "Coffee" is fine, but "iced oat milk latte from the shop on Main Street" is the detail that makes a parent smile when they hand it over.
