The National Education Association (NEA) describes National Teacher Day as "a day for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives".
The NEA gives a history of National Teachers' Day: The origins of Teachers' Day are murky. Around 1944, a Wisconsin teacher named Ryan Krug began corresponding with political and education leaders about the need for a national day to honor teachers. Mattie Whyte Woodridge (1909-1999), an educator from Helena, Arkansas wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1953 persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teachers' Day.
NEA along with its Kansas and Indiana state affiliates and the Dodge City, Kansas local NEA branch lobbied Congress to create a national day celebrating teachers. Congress declared 7 March 1980 as National Teachers' Day for that year only.
The NEA and its affiliates continued to observe Teachers' Day on the first Tuesday in March until 1985, when the National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week in the first full week of May. The NEA Representative Assembly then voted to make the Tuesday of that week National Teachers' Day.

The national celebration ceremony was stopped between 1973 and 1982, but it resumed after that.In 1982, it was revived again to create a climate that honors its mentor.
