Python Python Collections (2016, retired 2019) Dictionaries Teacher Stats

need help

would like to know if anyone could let me know why my code is not passing.

thanks in advance.

teachers.py
# The dictionary will look something like:
# {'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics'],
#  'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
#
# Each key will be a Teacher and the value will be a list of courses.
#
# Your code goes below here.
def num_teachers(dict):
    return len(dict.keys())

def num_courses(dict):
    counter = 0
    for key in dict:
        amount = len(dict[key])
        counter += amount
    return counter 

def courses(dict):
    course_list = []
    for key in dict:
        course_list.extend(dict[key])
    return course_list


def most_courses(dict):
    highest_number = 0
    teacher = ''
    for key in dict:
        if Len(dict[key]) > highest_number:
            teacher = key
    return teacher

Also, you assign teacher to the key, but I don't see where you are assigning the highest_number.

if Len(dict[key]) > highest_number: <-- you have L in len capitalized
