StampsTeach is a program that provides K – 12 educators with ready-made learning activities and philatelic materials to use in their classrooms. This includes lesson plans and activities geared for each grade level, with a variety of content areas - including science, math, language arts, health, history, fine arts, and more. In addition, educators can sign up to receive postally used stamps to offer a “Postage Stamp Token Economy” in their classroom. Token economies are systems that use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and academic achievement.

"I enjoy learning about the values of different cultures through stamps because it helps me better understand other humans around the world, even if I can never visit them." - Tenth grade student

"Students wanted to take the stamps home with them. They had to be problem solvers and independent thinkers to find what they needed and were cooperative and helpful to their peers."

"About a week after I taught the lesson on symmetry, one child encountered a related question on a practice test and said, 'I know that from stamp class!'"

"The activity complimented our math lessons and allowed the students to practice their math facts while engaged in a fun game."

"Two of my students who normally “tune out” were the first to complete the assignment and proudly showed their work to the rest of the class."

"Students used the stamps to self-test and teach themselves about categories. For example, which stamps are states? Foreign? In a particular continent?"
