This challenge has several steps so take your time, read the instructions carefully, and feel free to experiment in Workspaces or on your own computer. For this first task, create a function named num_teachers that takes a single argument, which will be a dictionary of Treehouse teachers and their courses. The num_teachers function should return an integer for how many teachers are in the dict.
# 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(x):
new = []
for thing in x.keys():
new.append(thing)
return len(new)

Your return statement is inside the loop and because of that you're returning the total of teachers after each iteration of the loop. So let's say you have a dictionary with 10 teachers this will be your output:
1
2
3
4
5

7
