Who Taught You
"Who Taught You" is a movement addressing the educator shortage and the need for investment and policy changes in the education system. The campaign aims to increase respect, recognition, and compensation for educators by collecting and sharing stories from people with large public platforms (e.g., celebrities, athletes, business leaders, and policymakers) about the impact of teachers. The goal is to shift the narrative and generate a supportive conversation highlighting educators' role in shaping children and safeguarding democracy, ultimately rejuvenating their sense of visibility and purpose.
