Testimonials:
“I love the sense of community that I get from the teachers that I have worked with.”
“I have enjoyed being challenged to think in a different light instead of getting caught up in my day-to-day routines.”
TRC has been the biggest game changer for me as a math educator.”
Being able to collaborate with educators/leaders from around the country has kept me motivated to stay in the classroom
I have continued to participate in TRC year after year because of the way we collaborate and learn from and with like-minded colleagues who want to do the hard work.
“I appreciate being able to talk to others going through similar experiences and struggles so that I can continue growing.”
I want to bring good ideas and examples back to my colleagues at school, and it’s addicting to learn from TRC Leadership in our monthly meetings!
TRC helps us move off auto-pilot with our teaching. It re-energizes us to push ourselves to change.. Also it helps keep my math grade up because I learn new things.
