🍎 Congratulations to Our Very Own, Cohort 2 Teacher Alumni Camila!

This award is a beautiful reflection of her dedication, heart, and passion for education. We are thrilled to share that she has been named Teacher of the Year by her school!

Camila, we are so lucky to have you as part of the AZTR Community!

Today, AZTR Cohort 3 Residents crossed the stage in caps and gowns, earning their Master's Degrees in Education. It's a moment that's been 2 years in the making, and so much heart poured into every classroom, every student, every day.

We are so proud of each and every one of you. The work you do matters more than words can say. Congratulations, Teachers! 🎉

What a year! ✨

As we close out Cohort 4's first year of courses, our hearts are full. We were lucky enough to learn from two incredible educators who poured into our residents at just the right time.

NAU's own Dr. Steve Jeras stopped by to remind us what it means to center our purpose and to never lose sight of why we walked into this work in the first place. And Dr. John Pascarella, Professor of Education at USC, zoomed in to ground us in the critical, beautiful, hard work of teaching.

Next year, these residents won't just be learning about teaching. They'll be the teacher of record, in their own classroom, with their own students.

We are so proud of them! 💙💛

This NAU Giving Day, your gift supports the Arizona Teacher Residency program, where passionate educators spend a full year learning in real classrooms before they ever lead one of their own. They're mentored by master teachers. They're embedded in communities that need them most. And when they step into their own classroom, they're ready.
