The Teach-A-Thon is a fundraiser, a public awareness campaign, a networking opportunity, a team-building exercise, and more...
The Teach-A-Thon connects business professionals, culinary professionals, and community leaders (Public School Champions) to the education field by having them step into the shoes of current educators for at least one in-person lesson.
By having business professionals teach actual content, we accomplish two goals: Students see the subject matter as more important, especially as many professionals can explain real-world applications of the subject. In addition, the professionals see into the classroom and discover why we need to support our public schools. As part of the program, business professionals tell colleagues of their experience to fundraise and gain support for our public schools.
In celebration of The Education Fund's 40th anniversary, we want to ensure that more than 4000 public school students get the resources they need to succeed. I need your help to meet this goal!
All business professionals become ambassadors for public education, while fundraising for participating classrooms.
This year, participants will teach their lesson anytime between September 2024 through January 2025.
You can teach any subject you prefer, but we encourage business professionals to teach a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) or financial literacy lesson. Don't know what lesson to teach? We can provide one to you!
