The U.S. Department of Education launched the TEACH campaign in September 2010. The goal of this innovative campaign is to inspire the next generation of teachers and increase the number, quality and diversity of people seeking to become teachers, particularly in high-need schools. The TEACH website provides resources for students and prospective teachers, including a new interactive “pathway to teaching” tool designed to help individuals chart their course to becoming a teacher.
