Some of our contributors are instantly recognizable, some have impressive credentials, and some are faces in the crowd. But each short video – which run the gamut from professionally produced to candid selfies – is a compelling testament to the formative contribution one teacher made to one student's life. Together, they are a vivid reminder of the value teachers bring to society as a whole.
We will pro-actively distribute these simple, inspiring videos to targeted audiences through a variety of traditional and new media channels, with special emphasis on social media, blogging and podcasting. By doing so, we will mold this profusion of heartfelt individual thanks into a collective, grass roots force that can help society rediscover its lost tradition of respect for teachers.
