Teaching Channel is a video showcase -- on the Internet and TV -- of inspiring and effective teaching practices in America's schools. We are a nonprofit organization. We believe what makes teachers inspiring is how they became experts-the hours and years they've dedicated to improving their craft to benefit their students. We're working everyday to capture their techniques on video so that all teachers-new or seasoned-have a place to find inspiration.
