Welcome to TeachersCount.org.  TeachersCount is a national, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to raise the status of the teaching profession and provide resources to the education community.

TeachersCount.org has three main sections: I’m a Teacher, I'm a WannaTeach, and I’m a Teacher Booster.  You’ll also notice that on the left side of many pages on this site are images from our “Behind Every Famous Person Is a Fabulous Teacher” Campaign, an ad series in the Time Inc. family of magazines that depicts celebrities with their favorite teachers.  To learn more and see all the images, please visit the Campaign section or just click on one of the images.  If you’d like to learn more about who we are and what we do in general, check out our About Us section.

If you’re a teacher, you’ll find many free resources in the I’m a Teacher section.  If professional development is your goal, you can access grad school information and listings for conferences, grants, and awards.  Many teachers take advantage of TeachersDisCount, a free retail savings program just for teachers.  For substantive educational content, check out TeachersTopic, which contains interviews with education experts, Education News, which features news briefs about the most important news in education, and the Bay Breeze Featured Lesson Plan.  If you’d like a boost in morale, visit the TeachersPet Honor Roll and StudentStories—two places where students past and present can honor and thank the teachers who have made a difference in their lives.

If you’re a prospective teacher, please see the I'm a WannaTeach section for many helpful resources, including How to Become a Teacher, Why Become a Teacher, information on teaching certification programs and scholarships, and FAQs.  You can also find TeachersTopic and Ed News there, too.

If you came to TeachersCount.org because you want to support teachers, you’re in the right place.  In the I’m a Teacher Booster section, you can become a TeachersPet , send a free Hallmark teacher appreciation e-card, find teacher appreciation ideas, and access other content on the site.

Thank you for visiting TeachersCount.org.  We hope you find our site helpful and enjoyable.
