Has A Special Teacher Inspired You? Share Your Story

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) - Do you have a teacher who changed your life for the better?

The Wayne State University College of Education is asking people to publicly recognize your favorite teachers by sharing their stories online.

It's part of a campaign called "Because of You, I..."  — aimed at reminding people of the difference teachers make, and to inspire people to consider a career in education.

"Teaching is not the most glamorous or financially rewarding profession, but there's a reason why polls consistently find it is one of the most satisfying professions in the world," said R. Doug Whitman, dean of the College of Education. "Teachers make a difference in students' lives and improve society as a whole, and that's very fulfilling."

The opportunity to publicly thank a teacher is open to everyone by sharing their story at coe.wayne.edu/because-of-you. Select submissions will be shared on the College of Education's Facebook page, Facebook.com/WayneStateEducation. All submissions can be viewed at inspiringteachers.wayne.edu.
