Through its Web site, TeachersCount provides a variety of services and resources aimed at current teachers, future teachers, and teacher "boosters."

Teachers will find free and discounted resources. Including books, Web sites, essays, and special topics of the month; education news; conference information; teaching awards and competitions; favorite links; and teaching materials at a discount.

Potential teachers will find articles and resources on the advantages of becoming a teacher, the process of entering the profession, and links to scholarship information.

Teacher boosters will find ways to express their support of the profession. TeachersCount has collaborated with Hallmark to present free teaching-themed e-cards, as well as a new list of innovative ideas called "Ten Ways to Thank a Teacher."

This section of the site also promotes the good work of teachers through the Honoring Teachers program. Here you'll find articles written by people of all backgrounds describing their most inspiring teacher.

TeachersCount is also partnering with Time Inc. in a national marketing campaign to promote distinctive portraits of celebrities with teachers who influenced their lives. The portraits are now appearing in the Time Inc. publications (Time, People, Fortune, InStyle, to name a few) with the catchphrase

"Behind every famous person is a fabulous teacher."

If you are a teacher, or want to become one, or simply wish to help to promote the teaching profession, you'll enjoy visiting the TeachersCount Web site.
