2021-2022 DTR Ambassadors
The Teacher Excellence Initiative is proud to announce the 2021-2022 DTR Ambassador Cohort. DTR Ambassadors provide peer-to-peer support to DTR-Eligible teachers. While working with a DTR Ambassador does not guarantee teachers points on the DTR Rubric, it is our hope that it will increase collaboration across the district and encourage teachers to share their strategies and impact with their peers. DTR Ambassadors support teachers by:
- Hosting specialized DTR Application Writing Workshops (registration via Cornerstone)
- Supporting teachers via email with DTR-related questions
Here is a link to each Ambassador’s professional biography and training so that you can make a connection with someone you feel will support you best.
