RECOGNITION
A study by Galllup, In 2017, indicated that 29% of teachers acknowledge being recognized for their work. Teachers do one of the most important jobs in society and they should be celebrity far more often, if not everyday! Our goal is to turn celebrating and recognizing teachers into a year round, sustained effort. To achieve this we create community-centered programming to increase professional respect for educators and to improve how they are recognized on an ongoing basis. Two of those strategies are our Take a Teacher to Lunch and One in a Million Programs, through which we have already recognized thousands of teachers.

SUPPORT
The current delivery of instruction model (1 teacher in front of 30 or more students) has not been innovated in around 100 years. What system would we allow to stay the say for 100 years? Million Dollar Teacher Project creates programming to drive more support and resources directly into classrooms to increase teachers capacity to effectively serve their students, improve student achievement and boost teachers feelings of fulfillment in the profession. This is what led to the creation of our Classroom Support Team and Million Dollar Teacher Tree programs that directly impact classrooms. You can help us expand these solutions and create more through your donation.

COMPENSATION
The key to any innovation, and to successfully change a system, is sustainability. As MDTP grows, we want our capacity to impact teacher compensation in creative ways to grow with us. To achieve this, we have created programs like our T.A.P. initiative where we partner with businesses to offer meaningful discounts on good and services to educators, or our Teacher Return on Investment project where we are examining the economic impact of quality teachers. Through your donation here, you are contributing towards helping us to strengthen these programs we have designed and are other approaches we are designing to help teacher’s compensation improve in a sustainable way.
