In your work as educators, you provide knowledge and guidance to our nation's young people and support the well-being of our culture and our democracy. All of us in public broadcasting have tremendous respect for your commitment.

Public television's primary mission is to inform and inspire the American public with multi-platform content of unparalleled educational quality. PBS is dedicated to providing you, your students and their families with resources that transform teaching and learning. Through our local stations' outreach, our program producers, and our online efforts like PBS Teachers, we will sustain and enhance the role that teachers play in our children's lives. Thank you.
