Department of Education Launches the TEACH Campaign

A great teacher can change the course of a student's life. A great teacher will light a lifelong curiosity within a student—for math, for science, for history and the arts. A great teacher will engender a sense of self-discipline and self-worth in a student. In the next few years, though, up to a quarter of the teaching workforce will leave the profession; most are retiring baby boomers.

In the effort to encourage more to join the teaching profession the U.S. Department of Education has launched the TEACH Campaign and TEACH.gov—a revolutionary new website dedicated to providing information, testimonials, and resources for students and prospective teachers—including a new interactive “path to teaching” tool designed to help individuals chart their course to becoming a teacher.
