The origins of National Teacher Day are murky. Around 1944 Arkansas teacher Mattye Whyte Woodridge began corresponding with political and education leaders about the need for a national day to honor teachers. Woodbridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1953 persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day.
NEA, along with its Kansas and Indiana state affiliates and the Dodge City (Kan.) Local, lobbied Congress to create a national day celebrating teachers. Congress declared March 7, 1980, as National Teacher Day for that year only.
NEA and its affiliates continued to observe National Teacher Day on the first Tuesday in March until 1985, when the National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week as the first full week of May. The NEA Representative Assembly then voted to make the Tuesday of that week National Teacher Day.
Celebrated on the Tuesday of the first full week of May, the actual date varies each year. In 2006, National Teacher Day takes place May 9. For more information about the weeklong celebration, visit the PTA's Web site.

The world we leave to our children depends in large measure on the children we leave to our world. Teachers have a pivotal role in realizing the goal - endorsed by the international community in Jomtien in 1990 and again in Copenhagen in 1995 - of making education accessible to all wherever they are, regardless of socio-economic circumstance, race, creed or gender. Many of our hopes for a more socially just, more sustainable, more tolerant and more peaceful world rest on the shoulders of the teaching profession.
World Teachers’ Day reminds governments and the general public of the role of teachers and of the need to improve their status and working conditions. Above all, it is an opportunity to show appreciation for their work in preparing the next generation to function efficiently in a changing world.
World Teachers' Day was launched by the Director-General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor, at the International Conference on Education in Geneva in 1993. The date 5 October was chosen because it was that date in 1966 that a special inter-governmental conference, organized jointly by UNESCO and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), adopted the Recommmendation concerning the Status of Teachers,which remains valid today.
