It's personal in that teachers do things specifically for the kids in their classroom. ... buying stickers to give out as rewards, using breakfast cereal to help kids learn to count, having display posters and other decorations that are both fun and educational, stuff like that.
Hell, one of my teachers went so far as to buy each and every kid in my class a book. There were 14 of us, but even then, that's a lot of money and time spent on things that the kids will benefit from, and for which the teacher doesn't otherwise get reimbursed. It encouraged reading, and got us all more actively invested in learning to read.

You make a cake with the student's name on it. And also Shakespeare's.

Ah, okay. But how do you show that you built a more personal learning environment?

It looks like it's up to $500. So if a teacher buys a $10 lunch for a student, they can submit the receipt and get a $10 tax credit. Repeat up to a maximum of $500.
This policy is actually good, because I know how much Keri was forced to spend on teaching stuff out of pocket and was unable to write off.

Someone explain this to me, from the PC platform:
A new PC government will also introduce a new Teacher Tax Credit of up to $500 a year. Everyteacher goes above and beyond for students in their classrooms, and this tax credit will recognize the exceptional contributions of Alberta teachers, who exceed the requirements of the job, both in terms of contributing time and financial resources – like stepping in to buy lunch for a student who has forgotten theirs at home, or building a learning environment in the classroom that is more personal, and that helps children learn and experience a happy environment.
