I always bring back a...
blue WDW autograph book (10.00) filled with autographs that I collect just for my students. I have different colored markers for the characters to use to make the book especially bright.
I teach ESL students grades K-5, so it's really fun to watch my primary students decode the autographs and figure out which character wrote it. The intermediate students like to compare the books year to year to see if there any new additions. They marvel at how the autographs are so consistently made year after year.
The character stickers were a fun addition this year--I collected as many as I could so my students could stick them next to the corresponding autograph. This helped some of my younger students read the autographs independently.
I also bring back maps, daily schedules, and anything else my students can read and enjoy!

There's a store in DTD (it's actually like a clearance aisle in between 2 stores) that sells all kinds of Disney stuff really cheap. Some stuff is 10 for $1.00, and everything is under $10

One year I bought a couple packs of postcards and some taffy. Price wasn't too bad and the kids loved them, they would ask me about them or tell me their own stories about Disney ..... we had alot of fun

I love the pressed penny idea. I was going to suggest this, too. And you could get 30 of the same design, or 30 different designs....whatever you wanted!

The Mickey straws are perfect! I love them, even though I'm a grown-up kid.
We've also got the sets of pens/pencils (I think they ran about a dollar each), and sets of Mickey-head or Pooh-head lollipops (these were snack credits, so around $4 for 5!)
I also love the idea of park maps...the kids would really enjoy those too!

What about buying a few packs of pencils or pens and giving each kid one? That's kind-of "school" related and cool for a teacher to bring!

I like the Mickey straw idea. How about picking up park maps in all the different languages? That might be fun for the classroom. They can trade them.

Lots of responses to this question!
I agree that kids LOVE the park maps. Maybe buy a few lollipop bouquets and seprate them and give each child a lollipop taped to a park map?
I have also bought "character" hot chocolate powder (it's colored!) and measured out individual servings into cellophane bags tied with ribbons. This was a big hit and the kids have to take this treat home to enjoy it (no classroom mess ).

When my DS was younger, we always bought pencils for him to give to the teacher who would then distribute them to the class. My cousin, who's a special ed teacher who sees kids on an individual basis, would get the straws.
For the teachers' lounge, I would get (and still do) get boxes of chocolate-covered Mickey pretzels.

I usually need 30 items to bring back to work. Once I asked a CM at an Animal Kingdom shop if I could purchase 30 of the Disney Conservation Fund buttons at $1 each. A little more expensive but everyone appreciated that the money went to support conservation efforts.

I love the Mickey staw idea and also the pressed pennies. I have been to the little store
at DTD and you can pick up things for kids that
they will love. It is a clearance shop.

Chip-n-Dale pretzels are great, inexpensive, healthy treats. My boys always bring treats back from our vacations, so it can be costly. You can buy several large bags for around $3.50 each or individual bags for around $0.80 each...that's what they were priced when we went. We've done pencils, magnets, candy...but the pretzels were the biggest hit. Pretzels shaped like Mickey heads...what could be better than that?

If you have transportation, hit your local Wal-Mart. It has an entire section dedicated for Disney. We brought back 2 items plus a magnet for each child (17) in my granddaughter's kindergarten class and it was not too expensive. Huge selection!
