The Chris Draft Family Foundation is emphasizing the importance of literacy by partnering with the U.S. Department of Education on their TEACH campaign.

The TEACH campaign is an initiative of the United States Department of Education designed to raise awareness of the teaching profession and get a new generation of teachers to join the ones who are already making a difference in the classroom.

To further this message, CDFF will be working to secure testimonials from NFL players about their favorite teachers and why education is important to them.

We want to hear from you too. Visit our Literacy Leaders page to tell us your story. Are you a teacher? What made you enter the profession? Was there a teacher that changed your life? Let us know!
