HOME Adopt
An Educator* is a unique program that endeavors to promote confidence
and increase effectiveness of our nation's educators.
Concerned individuals
and groups "adopt" educators by offering support and providing
assistance in their classrooms or offices. This support can include anything
from correcting Friday's spelling test to organizing the school's tutoring
program.
Take a moment to consider how you or your group can offer prayers,
friendship, and time to an adoptee. Such involvement motivates and
encourages educators
toward excellence, and ultimately impacts the lives of students, the leaders
of tomorrow.
