Teachers are the heart and soul of our children's education and they need our support!

Introducing Jones New York In The Classroom, a program designed to help improve the quality of education for America's children and inspire others to do the same.

The foundation of the educational system is teachers and it is estimated that every teacher affects 3,000 students in their professional lifetime.

Teachers are the single most important factor in raising student achievement, but they face many challenges.
 - The nation will need 2.2-2.4 million more teachers by 2010.
 - Teachers currently rank in the top of respected professions, but in the bottom as a planned career choice.
 - 30-50% of teachers leave the profession within 3-5 years.
 - Teachers spend an average of $1,200 of their own money each year to outfit their classrooms for basic learning.
