World Teachers’ Day — October 5, 2023

#TeachersCan is again marking World Teachers’ Day to honor teachers for being a guiding light for our students, our communities, and our state.

Texas teachers continue to adapt to a new normal. They remain relentlessly optimistic. They continue to persevere under difficult circumstances. They continue to prioritize students and families.

That’s why we honor them every year for World Teachers’ Day, and throughout the year.

Did you know?

The color blue holds special meaning for the #TeachersCan movement. In higher education, a light blue stole represents a degree in education. #TeachersCan pays tribute to the dedication of these scholars and educators by making light blue integral to campaign design elements.

Teachers need our support.

Here are a few ways you can step in and make a difference:
