TeachersCount Pairs with Celebrities and Multinational Corporations to Promote Teachers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  • September 15, 2008--TeachersCount.org honors the tremendous impact teachers have on our society and celebrates the work they do. To this end, we created a campaign called “Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher” in partnership with Time Inc. and Jones New York In The Classroom. (Images without accompanying text appear above)
  • The public-service ad campaign pairs celebrities with their favorite teachers and has run in many of the Time Inc. family of magazines.
  • Demand from teachers was so high that McGraw-Hill Education joined the TeachersCount team to help produce posters of the ads. They are currently being shipped nationwide by McGraw-Hill Education. Teachers can obtain individual posters for free by contacting TeachersCount (email: info@teacherscount.org). Teachers like to post them in classrooms, demonstrating that everyone, including the biggest celebrities, respects the work of teachers.
  • Over 200,000 posters of American Express CEO and Chairman Kenneth Chenault, recording artist Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, actor America Ferrera and actor Tony Shalhoub were distributed in the spring. And more than 200,000 more are currently being shipped including, pictured above from left to right, WNBA player Michelle Snow, actor James Franco, NFL teacher of the year contest winner Eddie Kennison and fashion designer Zac Posen.

    • Please contact Diana Burroughs at 212-222-1600 or email dburroughs@teacherscount.org for any inquiries
