Use Canva.com to Select a Fun Template
Canva.com has plenty of cute, fun, and beautifully designed “Meet the Teacher” templates. If you have a Canva for Nonprofits account, you already have access to these templates for free.
Edit the Template (Removing the Text)
Once you’ve selected the template you like. Make sure it is sized for 8.5 x 11 printing. Then, simply remove any text where you want teachers to be able to enter their own words.
Download your edited design as a .png file for use in your fillable template.
Create a PowerPoint Template
Create a new PowerPoint template. Resize it to 8.5 x 11 inches and create a new layout from the View/Slide Master ribbon.

Insert the .png file you downloaded from Canva.com and center it on your new layout.
Insert Text Placeholders & Save
Add placeholder text boxes in the areas where you want teachers to fill out information about themselves.
Save Your New Meet the Teacher Template
