The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) is excited to announce the launch of TEACH Connecticut s new The Future Depends on Teachers PSA campaign in advance of Teacher Appreciation Week. The campaign celebrates the profession s integral role in the nation s recovery and its lasting legacy on shaping future generations, and aims to inspire talented, diverse candidates to become educators.
TEACH Connecticut, in partnership with CSDE, is the first statewide support initiative of its kind in the nation and serves as a one-stop shop for free, valuable tools and resources to help anyone who is considering becoming a teacher. There is a wide range of evidence to support the benefits of a diverse teacher workforce, including its positive impact on strengthening schools and resulting in better outcomes for students of all races/ethnicities, such as reduced dropout rates, improved college admissions, and achievement gains.
