TeachersCount Radio Series to Honor Teachers
In spite of teachers’ great contributions, the voice of the everyday educator often goes unheard. Through a radio series TeachersCount, in partnership with NPR Connecticut affiliate Robinhood Radio and the Connecticut NEA, will provide an outlet for teachers to speak. The series will consist of radio shorts telling of the participating teachers’ stories, inspirations and passions. The goal of the project is to raise the status of the teaching profession through the voices of the teachers themselves. This project is in production, so check our homepage for updates.

So enter our Valentines Day contest for a chance to win a free Zac Posen tote. Please, tell us in 200 words or less what teaching taught you in 2009? Email your answers to info@teacherscount.org.
