Favorite PBS KIDS Teachers — Chosen by Viewers Like You!
Great teachers put their students first, spark their curiosity, and encourage them to believe in themselves! In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, PBS KIDS asked our audience who their favorite PBS KIDS teachers were. Scroll down to see if your favorites made the list!
1 Mr. Ratburn from “Arthur”
Mr. Ratburn was a clear favorite from the responses. A number of fans said they wished he had been their teacher in elementary school.
"Mr Ratburn because he is so kind and serious but fun at the same time." - @ryan_callender.09
"Mr Ratburn tops all teachers!" - @jordan.frooman
"Mr. Ratburn. He was teaching kids stuff that I didn’t learn until high school and I SO wanted to be in his class as a gifted kid." - @julia.decristofaro
2 Teacher Harriet from “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood”
Teacher Harriet was a very close second in most favorite PBS KIDS teachers! Her patience with preschoolers has clearly won fans over.
"Teacher Harriet. Such a patient and understanding teacher." - @klb0914

3 Mr. Sparks from “Hero Elementary”
Mr. Sparks inspired the name for the "Sparks' Crew" on "Hero Elementary," and he is also inspiring viewers at home!
"Mines is definitely Mr Sparks from PBS's Hero Elementary from Twin Cities Public Television @tptofficial (the PBS station in Minneapolis Minnesota) and I love his voice too." - @augie_nelsen
4 The Kratt Brothers from “Wild Kratts”
They may not officially be teachers, but there's no doubt that the Kratt Brothers are always teaching us about the interesting animals that live all over the world!
"@wildkrattstv has taught my 3.5 yr old son so much ! He loves animals of all kind and is mesmerized by them. He calls them nature superheroes." - @mommassori123

6 Ms. Champlain from “Word Girl”
"Ms. Champlain and all the teachers on Word Girl! You know they start out every day hoping today is the day Tobey @pattonoswalt won't bring his 'ro-buts'." - @wellisntthis
