New Trainings Support Cortez Teachers By Battling Burnout

Cortez
  • Local Champion: A Cortez local
  • Date Funded: December 16, 2024
  • Grant Amount: $8,080

Cortez teachers and administrators often deal with demands that go beyond the basics of curriculum and instruction, and those demands can lead to low teacher satisfaction and burnout. A retired educator who has been volunteering with the Montezuma-Cortez RE-1 School District was aware of this problem and began developing a solution: creating and conducting trainings to help Cortez-area teachers with classroom management and renew their passion. With LOR’s support, three seminars will be hosted in 2025 that offer effective techniques for behavior modification in the classroom.

This funding opportunity is fiscally sponsored by Onward! A Legacy Foundation.
