About the campaign

Excellent Teachers is a campaign to raise awareness of the many excellent teachers serving in Hamilton County public schools and of the Public Education Foundation’s role in helping to bring excellent teaching practices to every classroom.

Twenty teachers are being featured. Through the end of October, their life-size likenesses can be found at various BI-LO stores throughout the region, at Unum offices, and at the Public Education Foundation offices. (See attached list for specific teacher/location information.)

More information about these outstanding teachers, including short video podcasts of them in action, can be found at www.pefchattanooga.org/Excellent Teachers

Throughout the year, these teachers will also be featured in a “Teacher Spotlight” column in Chattanooga Parent magazine.

The program is being sponsored by the Public Education Foundation. PEF partners with Hamilton County Schools to help students succeed by offering professional training and coaching for teachers, principals and administrators; human and financial resources to promote research-based innovation; and research that promotes continuous achievement. Over the past 20 years, PEF has helped to bring millions of dollars in supplemental, philanthropic funding to the school system.
