1. There are more than 3 million teachers in the U.S. Public schools have a total of about 3.2
million full-time equivalent teachers, according to federal statistics. Sounds like a lot, until you
consider that there are approximately 51 million K-12 students to teach!  

2. The vast majority of teachers are women. The fact that many teachers are women probably
isn’t a surprise, but the percentage might be larger than you think: It’s nearly 77%. And more
than 54% of principals are women, too.

3. They probably work more than you realize—and not only in the classroom. We’re all envious
of the summer vacations most teachers get, but according to surveys, teachers work an average
of 50 hours a week. And they might not have a summer vacation at all: About 30% of them have
second jobs.

4. When they’re not teaching, many teachers are taking classes of their own. Nearly 60% of
teachers have a postgraduate degree—in order to advance their careers, additional education
usually is required. And unlike training in the corporate world, this is done on the teachers’ own
time (and often on their own dime).

5. They spend their own money in the classroom. When teachers don’t have enough supplies, or
they want to provide their students with more, almost all of them (94%) dig into their own
pockets. The average cost for teacher-funded supplies? About $500 annually. That’s not pocket
change, especially when you consider that teacher salaries average about $55,000 nationally.

6. Frequently, that support goes way beyond school supplies. More than 65% of teachers in one
survey said they had paid for food or covered the cost of field trips for students in need. And
33% have purchased coats, gloves, or other winter clothing for kids in their classes. Clearly,
they’re dedicated to more than just education—they want to ensure the well-being of their
students.
