Jimmy Fallon, host of the The Tonight Show, paid tribute to our nation’s chalkboard champions this week by performing his original composition, “Teachers’ Day Song.” His performance deserves to be shared here! Many people have been showering teaches with gratitude in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced many parents to teach their children at home while schools are closed.

Enjoy Fallon’s full tribute song to teachers below.

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, President Obama took time to chat with three Chicago public school teachers to thank them for their work. He loves our nation’s chalkboard champions! “There’s no limit to the devotion I’ve seen in teachers like these educators,” the President shared via Twitter. “Their dedication shapes the best parts of who we become. I couldn’t be more thankful for their work, especially as they shift lessons online to keep students on track during this crisis.”

Watch a clip of the conversations below:

Let’s be honest. There are so many excellent teachers and coaches out there that, by myself, I cannot possibly find out about them all. How about some help? Do you know a remarkable teacher? Someone everyone looks up to: students, parents, and administrators alike. Someone who serves as a model for the profession? A true Chalkboard Champion? This teacher could be someone who is currently in the classroom, someone who is already retired, or even someone from history that you admire. You can nominate that educator to be the subject of a blog post on this web site. Simply use the contact form on this site to send me the name and email information for the teacher you would like to nominate. I’ll do the rest! Hope to hear from you soon!
